Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Sociology
Abstract
This paper explores the multi -dimensional issues focusing on the societal inclusion of the physically challenged people. Societal inclusiveness for these sections of people has become a distant dream as they are suffering from several lacunas. The strategies to bring societal inclusiveness are imperative to the empowerment of physically challenged people as social stigma and social segregation is rooted strong. Attitudinal barriers faced by physically challenged people over weigh physical, communication, economic barriers and such other barriers. There is a need for strengthening the roots of society to make the physically challenged people socially accepted with emphasis on societal inclusiveness oriented policies. There is a need to provide sustainable economic support through viewing the entire physically challenged community as a valuable consumer in economic parameters. Increasing disability representation in political setting will also support their issues politically. Integrating disability history in school curriculum will promote social inclusion of the physically challenged in school level. Besides provision for school / college level scholarships to physically challenged athletes will support them physically.
