21 types of disabilities are identified by the Prashast 2.0 app, which is designed to streamline the process of recognising and supporting children with special needs in schools. The app enables early detection at the school level and connects educators with specialists to ensure appropriate interventions. This aligns with the expanded list of disabilities recognised under the RPWD Act, 2016, which increased the number from 7 to 21. By integrating with the Samagra Shiksha initiative, the app helps provide targeted educational support, ensuring inclusivity and improved learning outcomes for affected students across various regions.
