Sharing a few clips from the day — and hoping this conversation continues to find its place where it matters most: in policy and Parliament. #PurpleSabha #DisabilityRights #ParliamentaryAdvocacy #RPwDAct #InclusivePolicy Music credits- Conference Event-all behind.

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. @DRI_Law @SCVashishth disabilityrightsindia.com/20…

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? #Votability
You didn't have a plan for handicapped and injured people voting in case their index finger was damaged or some other case??

.@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. thehindu.com/entertainment/m…

A long awaited initiative! UDID to be a valid document for Train Travel!
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. @PMOIndia @RailMinIndia @Drvirendrakum13 #UDID #DivyangjanEmpowerment #InclusiveIndia #AccessibleTravel #EaseOfLiving #DigitalIndia #RightsWithDignity

HIV-positive persons can fall within the definition of Persons with Disabilities, says Delhi HC. Reinstates a BSF constable discharged for HIV status. Termination without medical assessment = illegal discrimination. @CABEIndia @DRI_Law disabilityrightsindia.com/20…

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. #DisabilityInclusion #LegalProfession #RPWDA @SCVashishth @DRI_Law disabilityrightsindia.com/p/…

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 disabilityrightsindia.com/p/… #DisabilityRights #RepresentationMatters #BarCouncilOfIndia
