On International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), Nepal’s Vice President Ramsahay Prasad Yadav emphasized the importance of ensuring the identity and dignity of people living with disabilities, urging relevant agencies to enforce their constitutional rights.
Extending his best wishes to individuals with disabilities both in Nepal and abroad, Vice President Yadav highlighted the constitutional provisions that guarantee incentives and prerogatives in public service for people with disabilities. He called for these rights to be fully implemented to promote equality and inclusion.
The IDPD, observed annually on December 3, was established in 1993 to advocate for the rights, inclusion, and respect of individuals living with disabilities. This year’s theme, “Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future,” underscores the need for a society where their rights are respected and protected.
Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba also extended his wishes, urging collective efforts to build an inclusive society that upholds the rights of people with disabilities.
