Govt. Reserves 4% Housing for Disabled Individuals
The government is setting aside 4 out of every 100 government homes for people with disabilities.
This means more people with disabilities can have a fair chance at getting a place to live.
This change is part of a bigger plan to make sure everyone is treated fairly, as the law says.
The goal is to make things equal, respectful, and easy for everyone to use.
The government is working to include all citizens and create an accessible environment for all.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs announced a 4% reservation for persons with disabilities in Central government housing.
This move aims to ensure fair access and promote equity.
The Department of Estates (DoE) issued a memorandum for implementation.
The initiative aligns with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016.
The DoE manages government estates and residential accommodations.
