    <abstract language="eng">Employability is needed for bread and butter for everyone. There are limited numbers of jobs opportunities available for Persons with Disabilities in Marathwada region. The unemployment problems are affecting the life style of disabled people in this region. In this study, we mainly focused on the parameters such as socio-economic status, education and skills, physical limitation and available facilities, lack of confidence and self-motivation and it was considered for analysis and to develop model to overcome the problems. After analysis, we found that, disabled people have no basic facilities and educational access, less employability skills and poor family background. Lack of Financial support from government, inadequate number health centers, lack of vocational training at local level, unawareness of welfare schemes are the main reasons behind the overburdened socially and economically disabled people. Our study concludes that, a proposed model is complete solution for preventing the unemployment problems of persons with disabilities in Marathwada region, Maharashtra state.</abstract>
