Abstract | The Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, represents a transformative milestone in India's journey towards disability inclusion, aligning national policies with global standards such as the UNCRPD. This position paper critically examines the Act's implementation, highlighting its significant achievements in expanding disability definitions, mandating accessibility, and increasing job and educational reservations. Despite these advancements, persistent challenges, including limited stakeholder awareness, insufficient funding, and gaps in accessibility, hinder the Act's full realization. The paper emphasizes the need for targeted interventions, enhanced budgetary allocations, and inclusive governance to bridge regional disparities and address intersectional vulnerabilities. By leveraging emerging technologies and fostering collaboration among stakeholders, the RPwD Act has the potential to reshape societal perceptions and advance the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities in India. |
