Facilities for Differently-Abled

1. Preamble

The Constitution of India provides equality, freedom, justice, and dignity to all, including persons with disabilities (Divyangjan). According to the 2012 census, the population of Divyangjan is 2.68%, which is 2.21% of the total population.

In recent years, there has been a vast and positive change in society's perception of persons with disabilities. The government realized the challenges faced by Divyangjan in accessing facilities, despite their constitutional rights. In response, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 was framed.

The Act emphasizes easing access to public and private buildings, workplaces, public utilities, religious and recreational sites, healthcare services, law enforcement, and transport. Under the leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the "Accessible India" (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan) campaign was launched to create barrier-free access for Divyangjan across various domains.

In educational institutions and workplaces, disabled persons often face difficulties accessing classrooms, washrooms, libraries, playgrounds, hostels, and messes. Our institution has built infrastructure and facilities to support them, such as ramps, lifts, Divyangjan-friendly washrooms, tactile signage, assistive technologies, and human assistance facilities.

2. Differently Abled (Divyangjan) Friendliness, Barrier-Free Facilities on Campus

Sant Baba Bhag Singh University is committed to providing a friendly and barrier-free environment for persons with disabilities. A university-approved policy is in place regarding Divyangjan support.
