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.
