Abstract

Human diversity plays a crucial role in the contemporary themes of social justice. A positive recognition of disability has become a part of the inescapable human diversity that enriches our experience. Every civilized society therefore, must provide for adequate physical and financial resources for the education and rehabilitation of the disabled so that they can enjoy a life of freedom, self respect and take active part in social life. The present study is an attempt to understand the current scenario of the available services for the disabled in the state of Jammu & Kashmir.
