Disability Clinic

World Disability Day Celebration Dec 3, 2022. & Inauguration of the Disability Rights Clinic Galgotias University

 The new Disability Rights Paradigm brought by the Universal law, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2008, (UNCRPD) mandates a real socio-legal change for treating people with disabilities as equals. It declares disability as an inherent human condition, not a medical condition. India was one among the first countries to sign and ratify the Convention and she has harmonized her old model medical and Rehabilitation Laws with a new law based on rights perspective. As part of rendering its responsibility to achieve equality for disability, Galgotias University has taken a historical initiative by opening a Disability Centre named, Disability Rights Clinic.

The objective of the Disability Rights Clinic

The Disability Rights Clinic embeds its objective to prompt the society to make self review of “How do we perceive disability”?. This is explicit in the name of the University Center, that the Center name would be read as a medical center unless we are into disability rights perspective. That’s exactly the obvious objective of the center. It aims the following:

1. Sensitize the students of Galgotias University towards disability and disability Rights.

2. Academic Courses on Disability Law and studies to prepare the students understand Disability in the “right manner”.

3. Regular program, Workshops, Seminar and opportunities for people with disability to display any of the skills.

4. Signing MoU’s with Disability Rights Clinic of universities in the developed countries, thereby to bring good models of disability inclusive practices.

5. A long time objective of the center is to connect with disability organizations and other related government institutions to work towards establishing equality for people with disabilities by eradicating the long persisting socially prejudiced stereotypic attitude.
