introduction

Disability Legislation Unit(DLU), is a joint project of Vidya Sagar (Formerly Spastics Society of India, Chennai) and National Centre for the Promotion of Employment of Disabled People (NCPEDP), which works towards ensuring the implementation of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. These organisations work to raise awareness of the rights of Disabled People in the society and to lobby with the policy makers and the decision makers to frame appropriate policies.

This blog is intended to move the Rights Campaign more faster and stronger in the field of Disability Rights. This blog will be helpful more on the advocacy side by collecting cases all over the country and documenting them in a particular format. This will help to a large extent in policy formation by presenting a strong solidarity from across the country form where they are. So do join us by sending our cases and incidents you faced. Through his blog the DLU will also be giving legal advice on-line where ever needed, through its panel lawyers. Also DLU puts ever one to notice that the legal opinion given on line can at the best be a guidance for you and you shall need to consult a lawyer of your choice in person. The DLU may also support you by recommending your case to either of its panel lawyers.
