SC issues notice to the Union Govt on a PIL seeking stronger enforcement of recommendations issued by Disability Commissioners under the RPwD Act, 2016. ♿⚖️

It highlights a key issue: rights are meaningful only when implemented.

A landmark Supreme Court judgment in Prabhu Kumar v. State of Himachal Pradesh.
The Court held that the State cannot deny public employment to a candidate for being “too disabled” and struck down arbitrary upper disability limits. A major victory for reasonable accommodation.

There is indeed a protocol BUT

Rule 49k of CER suffers the same lack of imagination as UIDAI's Aadhaar - of only addressing absence of body part, not when it is present but poses challenges.

Even so, given protocol is apply on next finger, why the fuss @Ceokerala?

.@ayaan_paul, we've seen the film Project Hail Mary, and we are baffled and curious - what makes you think that Rocky is autistic?

Or if used purely as an adjective, what do you think 'autistic' means?

Earthian & Eridean are both different to each other.

A long awaited initiative! UDID to be a valid document for Train Travel!

[Divyang Empowerment @socialpwds]

A Landmark Step Towards Inclusive & Dignified Travel

In a life-changing move for Persons with blindness, #DEPwD and the Ministry of Railways have signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding.

👉 The UDID Card will now be accepted as a valid document for availing railway travel concessions by persons with blindness.

This will be enabled through API-based integration of the UDID database of persons with blindness ( one of the categories under visual impairment) with the Railway ticketing system, ensuring:

✔️ Seamless digital verification
✔️ No repeated paperwork
✔️ Faster, hassle-free booking
✔️ A more dignified travel experience

This is not just a policy reform—
it is a promise of accessibility, independence, and equal opportunity.

One Card. One Identity. Unlimited Mobility.
A step that will truly transform lives and make rail travel more inclusive for Divyangjan with blindness across India.

Representation matters. SC directs Bar Council of India to examine inclusion of advocates with disabilities in its governing bodies — reinforcing equality within the legal system itself.

A nudge from the Supreme Court: Time for Bar Councils to include advocates with #disabilities in leadership. Inclusion must begin within the justice system. @DRI_Law @CABEIndia @ncpedp_india https://t.co/gkO3PD689P

"Developing accessible infrastructure is vital, but without sensitisation, it falls short."
