4. Good training, good placement organization- what went wrong  Meet Kirti,( Name change) having completed her schooling, trained in Delhi’s best organization, got placed with Google dropped out in just ten months of placement and now unwilling to go back low self esteem No social life Limited knowledge about skills other than work Low priority for work ethics Charity approach for self Low self-esteem drove her to be reclusive  Lack of peer support worsened her condition Habit to be dependent on people around. Expectation- everyone will take care of her. Even the family use to protect her “are wo kaise karegi ”  She was alone after work, never had the opportunity to socialize with her peers. Very limited social skill led to frequent emotional outburst Needed support for everything he does for day-to-day living Independence in traveling, managing money and time was difficult. Poor adherence for daily routine Had difficulty in closer skills Lack of respect for dignity of work Access to livelihood opportunities and their retention in job both are equally challenging

5. Journey from disability to deprivation or from disability to fulfilling life is dependent on three critical catalyzers – Compensatory and life skills, Emotional resilience and an Inclusive caring Ecosystem Independence for day activities enhances self esteem Training in work skills and soft skills enhances the possibility to get and sustain the employment Knowledge about managing finances, health and relation enhances the person’s acceptance in family and the community Training in handling emotions develops a person’s compassion for self and others Self dependence brings out a person from charity to assert her rights Relation with family and friends improves and the person can advocate for self Adult PwDs needs to have a peer group for development Many of their behavioral challenges gets resolved when they learn with people who are like them, and no body judge them A sangha keeps a person anchored and provide support in critical times. Who is my friend? How do I manage my emotions? What do I do to cope with life? Three basic but critical prerequisites to achieving a fulfilling life for PWDs

8. NGOs in PPP Governments schemes and services Government’s organization Existing NGOs work in silos and highly specialized services No collaboration among them Never scale above a certain number Existing Govt schemes and training program fail to attract and connect with PWDs as they are not accessible or are run in PPP model who has less connect on ground MoSJ&E and NT both have scope to improve their technology, systems and their own cadre to become inclusive and compassionate to drive innovation Key gaps at three levels Key Issue- Transactional implementation with least focus on the wholistic approach

25. Constitutional and Legal Provisions A key change in the legal framework that has evolved over the last 40-50 years, is to recognize the dynamic nature of disabilities Article 41 The State shall, within the limits of its economic capacity and development, make effective provision for securing the right to work, to education and to public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement and in other cases of undeserved want. Article 46 lays down an obligation on the State to promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people and protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation. 1. The Mental Health Act, 1987 For PWDs with mental disability it makes better provision with respect to their property 2. The Rehabilitation Council of India Act, 1992 Training of rehabilitation professionals and the maintenance of a Central Rehabilitation Register 3. Person with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 provides for both preventive and promotional aspects of rehabilitation like: education, employment and vocational training, job reservation, research and manpower development, creation of barrier-free environment, rehabilitation of person with disability, unemployment allowance for the disabled, special insurance scheme for the disabled employees and establishment of homes for persons with severe disability etc. 4. The National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999 Aims to provide total care to persons with intellectual disabilities and manage the properties bequeathed to the Trust 5. Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act, 2016 Types of disabilities have been increased from existing 8 to 21 Disability has been considered as an evolving and dynamic concept .
