Section 37 of RPWD Act, 2016 : Section 37: Special Schemes And Development Programmes

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where the state government launches a new housing scheme aimed at providing affordable homes to its citizens. Under Section 37 of The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, the government includes a provision in the scheme that reserves 5% of the housing units specifically for persons with benchmark disabilities. This means that out of every 100 houses, 5 are allocated to qualifying individuals with disabilities. Additionally, within this reservation, there is a priority for women with benchmark disabilities, ensuring they have enhanced access to housing opportunities.
