Question

Which of the following statements with regard to the persons with disabilities in India is/are correct?

1The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, an Act passed by the Parliament of India in 2018, mandates reservation in education and employment, places a legal duty on Governments to ensure accessibility and non-discrimination.
2The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan focuses on achieving universal accessibility for Persons with Disabilities across three key domains - built infrastructure, transport systems and information and communication technology.
3The National Divyangjan Finance and Development Corporation (NDFDC) is a public sector organisation set up by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs as a not-for-profit company to promote entrepreneurship among Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) .

Select the answer using the code given below:

Options

a

1 and 2

b

2 only

Answer
c

1 and 3

d

1 only

Explanation

Only statement 2 is correct. The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan (Accessible India Campaign) targets infrastructure, transportation, and ICT systems to improve accessibility. Statement 1 is incorrect because the landmark Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act was enacted by Parliament in 2016, not 2018. Statement 3 is incorrect because the National Divyangjan Finance and Development Corporation (NDFDC) operates under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, rather than the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

The Accessible India Campaign focuses on infrastructure, transportation, and ICT systems, while the primary disability rights act was passed in 2016 and the NDFDC is managed by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
