Abstract

Disability is a natural phenomenon that can occur due to biological or anthropological causes. Disability hits differently to different social groups but the impact is mostly negative. Inclusion of the marginal community groups like Persons with Disabilities (PwD) is essential for a democratic polity. India is a developing country that is mandated as per the Article 41 of the constitution to ensure disablement doesn’t cause disruption in access to assistance, education and work.  In order to optimize human capital of India, assistive technology is the new breakthrough for enhancing productivity and dignity of persons with disabilities. However, challenges persist in accessibility and scope of assistive technology in India.
