The central government has introduced a 4% reservation in the allocation of residential housing for persons with disabilities (PwD). This progressive measure, led by the Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal, aims to foster inclusivity and provide equitable access to government housing facilities. By reserving a fixed percentage, the initiative ensures that people with disabilities are not left behind in public welfare schemes. It reflects a broader commitment to accessibility, dignity, and inclusive urban development, aligning with national and international goals for disability rights and empowerment. This step represents a meaningful stride toward inclusive governance.
