Abstract

Significant number of Indians have disabilities of one form or the other. Recently in India Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (RPWD), 2016 has been enacted which makes both public and private sector organizations accountable for ensuring disabilityfriendly workplaces. This article discusses in detail how organizations can inculcate disabilityfriendliness. In order to draw holistic implications on disability management in certain places the article has gone beyond RPWD Act and has taken note of recent developments in foreign countries contexts. Successfully creating a disability-friendly work environment is a complex issue, but even attempting at it is a noteworthy move towards addressing some of the barriers that a disabled individual faces during their work life.
