Review on Rights for Person with Disabilities and Difficulties Faced in Finding Scribes/Readers

Abstract

A person with Disabilities or PWDs is an integral part of society and should be provided with equal rights and opportunities in this competitive world. The continuous efforts and endless struggle by person with disabilities, social activists and institutes in order to get equal rights for Persons with Disability was recognized, and we got the “The Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995” after long protests and demands. This act marked the beginning of equal participation of PWDs in all fields. Many policies and guidelines were established and several provisions were made available to a person with disabilities yet the expected results were not achieved. What procedures have been implemented, the guidelines for examinations, facilities available for PWDs, the different opportunities which PWDs can avail for, the current system for allocating Scribes/Readers for PWDs, the process of finding Scribes/Readers by one self, the methods and platforms that are being used, efficiency and drawbacks of the used techniques and methods, what are the different difficulties are faced by PWDs when opting for own Scribes/Readers, lack of Organizational facilities and the major reasons for grievance of PWDs are discussed in this paper.
