Question

5. According to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act,
2016, persons with disabilities have equal rights, and that
the government should make possible their full
participation in society. The government has to provide
free education and integrate children with disabilities into
mainstream schools. This law also states that all public
places including buildings, schools, etc., should be
accessible and provided with ramps.
Look at the photograph and think about the boy who is being
carried down the stairs. Do you think the above law is being
implemented in his case? What needs to be done to make the
building more accessible for him? How would his being carried
down the stairs affect his dignity as well as his safety?​
