Mr. Kodakkal Shivaprasad submitted his 10 page discussion theory and was successfully selected for an attention and the 2nd part of the discussion will be started from 2nd March this year. Earlier Kodakkal Shivaprasad was recipient of news letters from INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF DISABLED PERSONS SECRETARIET [IYDP] of United Nations.
He was included in International and National Biographical Notes published by prominent publishers around the world and was recipient of several awards & honors around the nation.
As we are aware that Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment had initiated the process of amending the Persons with Disabilities [Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation]
Keeping in view the demands that the amendment to the Act may be considered after India signed the UN Convention on Rights for Persons with Disabilities, the process was kept in abeyance. This was resumed, after signing of the convention, the ministry’s reports declared.
