A STUDY OF EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS OF DISABLED IN INDIA

Abstract

Disability can be defined as an inability of an individual to perform certain day- to-day activities (activity restrictions) and interact with the individuals around them (participation restrictions) due to impairment of body or mind. The employment and workplace protection rights of individuals with a disability are very important because of the discrimination at the workplace leading to poor self-esteem for the disabled. This paper emphasises the problems associated with disabled people in India and also provides a brief overview of the legal laws and rights implemented by the government of India concerning employment and workplace for the welfare and development of disabled citizens across the country.
