Welcome to the Disability Law Initiative website! Our aim is to empower persons with disabilities and their organizations through comprehensive knowledge and understanding about disability law in India and its role in enabling a fair, equitable and inclusive society for persons with disabilities.
The DLI site provides information on the laws, regulations and judicial pronouncements governing the rights and entitlements of persons with disabilities in India. The DLI site also publishes a periodic E-bulletin, which highlights important issues relevant to disability law and affirmative action. Through such information, our intent is to enable persons with disabilities to realize affirmative action in critical areas such as employment, education, barrier-free access to facilities, housing, and financial services.
Information on this site is organized by a left-side topic menu, consisting of subjects critical to the integration of persons with disabilities into the social mainstream, such as Employment, Education, Access and Reasonable Accommodation. We encourage persons with disabilities and their organizations to communicate with us, using the tools provided on this site, about the issues they face and also to provide us feedback about developing the site to best serve the interests of the disability community in India.
The development of this website is made possible by a grant facilitated by GiveIndia Foundation.
