Abstract

Disability is an umbrella term covering impairments, activity limitations and participating restrictions. This limited access to world leads to various psychological, social and economic problems along with anxiety issues in individuals with disabilities. As said by Mahatma Gandhi,“India is a country of villages,”(Gandhi, 21)as more than 60% of the total population of the country resides in villages. According to Village Square an online journal writing about Real picture of Rural India, it is revealed that there are about 27 million people in India with disabilities, of which more than 70% of disabled population of India lives in villages.They are a neglected and marginalised section of the society. Disability is a physical, mental, and intellectual condition that may be inherited or acquired by the individual. There have been many cases where individuals were born without any disability but due to some illness or accident, they acquired one or the other form of disability, landing in the excluded section of the society.
