Cover Story: There are 70 million disabled in the country. Studies indicate that of this number only about 5 per cent are gainfully employed. The livelihoods of the disabled are in distress. Instead of creating support systems to enable the disabled to undertake any livelihoods activity focus is on figuring out special livelihoods for them. This means their choice in livelihoods is shrinking. Creating supporting environment like disabled-friendly infrastructure and disabled-friendly policies and bringing about a change in the way disabled and their abilities are perceived is needed.
