&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The differently-abled account for 5-7% of India&amp;rsquo;s population in the age group of 6-14 years, but they make up only 0.4% of its workforce. This large variance in the space of a few years can be explained by the disadvantages and discrimination the differently-abled face at every step, starting from the first: being counted. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Civil society activists say various attempts by the government to identify and enumerate the differently-abled in the 6-14 years bracket have all been exercises in under-reporting &amp;mdash; in the region of 55-70% &amp;mdash; because of their restrictive definition of &amp;lsquo;disability&amp;rsquo;. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The number (of differently-abled children) is much larger,&amp;rdquo; says Anupriya Chadha, a consultant to the government on inclusive education. And there lies the problem. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are not counted as differently-abled, they are not recognised as differently-abled. If they are not recognised as differently-abled, they either do not go to mainstream schools or the schools don&amp;rsquo;t adjust their learning methods to help them blend in. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are unable to blend in, they are not job-ready. If they are not job-ready, organisations are reluctant to employ them. It all starts from counting right, which, experts say, the government is getting wrong time and again. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India included disability in the census for the first time in 2001, based on the seven disabilities listed in the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. According to the 2001 count, the latest available, there were 4.3 million differently-abled children in the age group of 6-14 years. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Normal schools help special kids &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;More recently, as part of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the government programme that aims to give primary education to all, the human resource development (HRD) ministry asked the states to count the number of differently-abled (education is a state subject). &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The ministry broadened the definition of disability to include four more conditions stated under the National Trust Act, 1999, notably autism and cerebral palsy. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Yet, last month, when a parliamentary committee revealed the ministry&amp;rsquo;s findings, the 4.3 million figure had shrunk to 3 million. Each state had its own definition of disability. In addition, parents, especially in rural India, under-reported disability in their household in the census. &amp;ldquo;There is a social stigma,&amp;rdquo; says Renu Addlakha, a senior fellow with the Centre for Women&amp;rsquo;s Development Studies. &lt;/font&gt;

This large variance in the space of a few years can be explained by the disadvantages and discrimination the differently-abled face at every step, starting from the first: being counted. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Civil society activists say various attempts by the government to identify and enumerate the differently-abled in the 6-14 years bracket have all been exercises in under-reporting &amp;mdash; in the region of 55-70% &amp;mdash; because of their restrictive definition of &amp;lsquo;disability&amp;rsquo;. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The number (of differently-abled children) is much larger,&amp;rdquo; says Anupriya Chadha, a consultant to the government on inclusive education. And there lies the problem. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are not counted as differently-abled, they are not recognised as differently-abled. If they are not recognised as differently-abled, they either do not go to mainstream schools or the schools don&amp;rsquo;t adjust their learning methods to help them blend in. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are unable to blend in, they are not job-ready. If they are not job-ready, organisations are reluctant to employ them. It all starts from counting right, which, experts say, the government is getting wrong time and again. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India included disability in the census for the first time in 2001, based on the seven disabilities listed in the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. According to the 2001 count, the latest available, there were 4.3 million differently-abled children in the age group of 6-14 years. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Normal schools help special kids &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;More recently, as part of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the government programme that aims to give primary education to all, the human resource development (HRD) ministry asked the states to count the number of differently-abled (education is a state subject). &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The ministry broadened the definition of disability to include four more conditions stated under the National Trust Act, 1999, notably autism and cerebral palsy. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Yet, last month, when a parliamentary committee revealed the ministry&amp;rsquo;s findings, the 4.3 million figure had shrunk to 3 million. Each state had its own definition of disability. In addition, parents, especially in rural India, under-reported disability in their household in the census. &amp;ldquo;There is a social stigma,&amp;rdquo; says Renu Addlakha, a senior fellow with the Centre for Women&amp;rsquo;s Development Studies. &lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The differently-abled account for 5-7% of India&amp;rsquo;s population in the age group of 6-14 years, but they make up only 0.4% of its workforce. This large variance in the space of a few years can be explained by the disadvantages and discrimination the differently-abled face at every step, starting from the first: being counted. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Civil society activists say various attempts by the government to identify and enumerate the differently-abled in the 6-14 years bracket have all been exercises in under-reporting &amp;mdash; in the region of 55-70% &amp;mdash; because of their restrictive definition of &amp;lsquo;disability&amp;rsquo;. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The number (of differently-abled children) is much larger,&amp;rdquo; says Anupriya Chadha, a consultant to the government on inclusive education. And there lies the problem. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are not counted as differently-abled, they are not recognised as differently-abled. If they are not recognised as differently-abled, they either do not go to mainstream schools or the schools don&amp;rsquo;t adjust their learning methods to help them blend in. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are unable to blend in, they are not job-ready. If they are not job-ready, organisations are reluctant to employ them. It all starts from counting right, which, experts say, the government is getting wrong time and again. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India included disability in the census for the first time in 2001, based on the seven disabilities listed in the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. According to the 2001 count, the latest available, there were 4.3 million differently-abled children in the age group of 6-14 years. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Normal schools help special kids &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;More recently, as part of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the government programme that aims to give primary education to all, the human resource development (HRD) ministry asked the states to count the number of differently-abled (education is a state subject). &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The ministry broadened the definition of disability to include four more conditions stated under the National Trust Act, 1999, notably autism and cerebral palsy. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Yet, last month, when a parliamentary committee revealed the ministry&amp;rsquo;s findings, the 4.3 million figure had shrunk to 3 million.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The differently-abled account for 5-7% of India&amp;rsquo;s population in the age group of 6-14 years, but they make up only 0.4% of its workforce. This large variance in the space of a few years can be explained by the disadvantages and discrimination the differently-abled face at every step, starting from the first: being counted. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Civil society activists say various attempts by the government to identify and enumerate the differently-abled in the 6-14 years bracket have all been exercises in under-reporting &amp;mdash; in the region of 55-70% &amp;mdash; because of their restrictive definition of &amp;lsquo;disability&amp;rsquo;. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The number (of differently-abled children) is much larger,&amp;rdquo; says Anupriya Chadha, a consultant to the government on inclusive education. And there lies the problem. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are not counted as differently-abled, they are not recognised as differently-abled. If they are not recognised as differently-abled, they either do not go to mainstream schools or the schools don&amp;rsquo;t adjust their learning methods to help them blend in. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;If they are unable to blend in, they are not job-ready. If they are not job-ready, organisations are reluctant to employ them. It all starts from counting right, which, experts say, the government is getting wrong time and again. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;India included disability in the census for the first time in 2001, based on the seven disabilities listed in the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. According to the 2001 count, the latest available, there were 4.3 million differently-abled children in the age group of 6-14 years. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Normal schools help special kids &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;More recently, as part of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the government programme that aims to give primary education to all, the human resource development (HRD) ministry asked the states to count the number of differently-abled (education is a state subject). &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The ministry broadened the definition of disability to include four more conditions stated under the National Trust Act, 1999, notably autism and cerebral palsy. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Yet, last month, when a parliamentary committee revealed the ministry&amp;rsquo;s findings, the 4.3 million figure had shrunk to 3 million. Each state had its own definition of disability. In addition, parents, especially in rural India, under-reported disability in their household in the census. &amp;ldquo;There is a social stigma,&amp;rdquo; says Renu Addlakha, a senior fellow with the Centre for Women&amp;rsquo;s Development Studies. &lt;/font&gt;

Differently-abled children under-reported by John Samuel & Raja D

The differently-abled account for 5-7% of India’s population in the age group of 6-14 years, but they make up only 0.4% of its workforce. This large variance in the space of a few years can be explained by the disadvantages and discrimination the differently-abled face at every step, starting from the first: being counted. Civil society activists say various attempts by the government to identify and enumerate the differently-abled in the 6-14 years bracket have all been exercises in under-reporting — in the region of 55-70% — because of their restrictive definition of ‘disability’. “The number (of differently-abled children) is much larger,” says Anupriya Chadha, a consultant to the government on inclusive education. And there lies the problem. If they are not counted as differently-abled, they are not recognised as differently-abled. If they are not recognised as differently-abled, they either do not go to mainstream schools or the schools don’t adjust their learning methods to help them blend in. If they are unable to blend in, they are not job-ready. If they are not job-ready, organisations are reluctant to employ them. It all starts from counting right, which, experts say, the government is getting wrong time and again. India included disability in the census for the first time in 2001, based on the seven disabilities listed in the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. According to the 2001 count, the latest available, there were 4.3 million differently-abled children in the age group of 6-14 years. Normal schools help special kids More recently, as part of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the government programme that aims to give primary education to all, the human resource development (HRD) ministry asked the states to count the number of differently-abled (education is a state subject). The ministry broadened the definition of disability to include four more conditions stated under the National Trust Act, 1999, notably autism and cerebral palsy. Yet, last month, when a parliamentary committee revealed the ministry’s findings, the 4.3 million figure had shrunk to 3 million. Each state had its own definition of disability. In addition, parents, especially in rural India, under-reported disability in their household in the census. “There is a social stigma,” says Renu Addlakha, a senior fellow with the Centre for Women’s Development Studies.
