Detailed Explanation
Understanding Statutory Provisions for CWSN
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (RPWD Act, 2016) is a revolutionary legislation for inclusive education and the rights of persons with disabilities in India. It expanded the types of disabilities from 7 to 21 in alignment with international standards.
Key highlights of the framework include:
- Expansion of Disabilities: Increased from 7 to 21 recognized benchmark disabilities.
- Equal Opportunities: Ensures legal mandates for non-discrimination and equal opportunity in education and employment.
- Universal Design: Promotes the creation of products, environments, programmes, and services to be usable by all people to the greatest extent possible.
Therefore, option B is the correct and scientifically accurate definition aligned with the statutory provisions of the RPWD Act, 2016.
