2. BACKGROUND

i. As per the Census (2011), Tamil Nadu is the sixth most populous state in India

with a population of 72 million, which includes a proportion (1.63 per cent) of

Differently Abled Persons compared to the national average of 2.21 per cent. A

study that used pooled data from the District Level Household Survey-4 (2012-

13) and Annual Health Survey 2nd updating round (201213) reveals that there are

4550 differently abled persons amongst every 100,000 population in Tamil Nadu,

thereby indicating a much higher prevalence of disability in comparison to the

census data. Therefore, if one goes by the estimates of this recent study, about 3.2

million people in Tamil Nadu would live with some form of disability. Moreover,

even these estimations appear on the lower side, significantly since the definition

and type of disabilities have changed to include a larger population group since

the promulgation of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016

ii. Differently Abled Person (DAP) face multiple socio-economic constraints,

including poorer health outcomes, lower education levels, limited economic

participation, and higher poverty rates than persons without disabilities. They

often experience exclusion and barriers in accessing health services, education,

employment, transportation, information, care, and rehabilitation services.

Furthermore, households with disabled members are more likely to experience

material hardships–food insecurity, poor housing, lack of access to safe water and

sanitation, and inadequate access to healthcare. Thus, these limitations and

barriers hinder their full and effective participation in society and affect the

country's productive potential, the human capital. To increase human capital and

reduce the achievement gap among people with disabilities, a coordinated and

comprehensive package of interventions appears warranted for addressing the

individual and community contexts at multiple and systemic levels.

iii. Tamil Nadu has always been a pioneer in the implementation of welfare schemes

for all sections of socially disadvantaged groups. Through its various initiatives

and schemes, the Department for the Welfare of the Differently Abled (DWDAP)

has extended full support to the differently abled people in their pursuit of full and

equal involvement in every aspect of society. The DWDAP is mainly responsible

for all administrative, statutory and service delivery functions, which are

implemented through its well-experienced workforce at the state, district and local

levels. The thrust areas of the DWDAP are prevention and early interventions,

special education, employment & vocational training, social security

(maintenance allowance, travel concession, assistance to NGOs), aids &

appliances, and barrier-free structure. Recently, DWDAP conducted a pilot project

in a few blocks of the state and has identified a need for a multi-sectoral, whole-

government, and capacity-building approach to care and rehabilitation of the

differently abled.

iv. The RIGHTS Project focuses on three pillars: first, promote inclusion of all by

ensuring that persons with disabilities participate equally with others in any

activity and service intended for the general public, such as education, health,

employment, and social services; second, improve the access of specialised

programs by investing in specific measures for quality care, rehabilitation and

support services; and third, provide opportunities for persons with disabilities for

completion of education, skills training and market-linked employment

opportunities. However, to manage the project at the proposed scale, substantial

efforts would be required to build the current institutional capacity of the DWDAP

at all levels in terms of field units for administration, service delivery, supervision

and monitoring, along with the autonomous capacity.

v. The project would be managed through the Directorate for Welfare of the

Differently Abled (DWDA), led by the Project Director (PD) RIGHTS project

team of consultants. District Project Implementation Unit in each district will

oversee the activities at the district level headed by District Differently Abled

Welfare Officer (DDAWO). It will have a team of District Project Officers.

vi. To provide the overall process coordination of successful delivery of the
