In order to ensure the rights of people with disabilities, there is a need for a national advisor on the subject to the prime minister, former chief justice of the Delhi High Court Ajit Prakash Shah said Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is a need for a national advisor on disability to the prime minister, as it will help in bridging the gap between policies and ground realities,\u2019 Shah said at the inauguration of a two-day meet on the disability sector in the capital.<\/p>\n

\u2018This step will also help India fully implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (CRPD) of which it is a signatory,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

The CRPD requires its signatories to promote, protect, and ensure the full enjoyment of human rights by people with disabilities and ensure that they enjoy full equality under the law.<\/p>\n

According to government estimates, there are approximately 20-30 million disabled people in India. However, NGOs estimate the numbers are around 60-70 million.<\/p>\n

In contrast to the population, NGOs like the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP) say that only a handful of them are educated and employed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
