In 2016, the Rights to Persons with Disabilities Act was passed by the Government of India to replace the earlier PWD Act of 1995. The Act increased reservations for persons with disabilities from 3% to 4% in government jobs and from 3% to 5% in higher education institutions. The Act also expanded the list of recognised disabilities from 7 to 21, including many previously ignored conditions. The last decade also saw several new schemes to support PWDs, including scholarships, GST concessions, and the Unique Disability ID or UDID. And yet, despite these shifts in policy, persons with disabilities face considerable discrimination and inequality of opportunities in India. In this podcast, the third in SPRF’s series on disability, Kausumi Saha speaks to Nipun Malhotra about his life with arthrogryposis, his activism, and his thoughts on disability policies in India.
