Government will soon introduce a new Act aiming at empowering people with various forms of disabilities. Social Justice Minister Mukul Wasnik said in New Delhi that this will be in sync with international regulations. He was talking to reporters yesterday on the side lines of a function. He said the committee formed on the matter has submitted the draft of the new act and it is being studied by the government for a final decision. For better accessibility of government websites and departments by the disabled people, Wasnik unveiled a set of 40 templates used as public information circulars, forms, gazettes and notifications. Replying to a question on ways to increase accessibility for disabled people in government departments and industries, Wasnik said his ministry has written to the states, central departments and various chambers of commerce and industries to take necessary steps for the purpose. Earlier addressing the function, Wasnik stressed the need for attitudinal changes in all sections of society to break their mental barriers against disabled people. Observing that equal opportunity is not a welfare aspect but the right of disable people, he said government has taken a decision to organize a national festival for them in April every year.
