It also aims to analyze the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in accessing these rights and the measures being taken by the government and non-government organizations to address these issues. The study will be carried out in the city of Lucknow as it offers a diverse representation of the disability community in India. newlineThis thesis serves as a comprehensive analysis of disability law in India and a similar framework in international law. The research will provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the current system and suggest recommendations for improvement. Additionally, the thesis will shed light on the barriers faced by individuals with disabilities in accessing their rights and the measures being taken to address these barriers. newlineThe importance of this study cannot be overstated.

This study will help to evaluate the progress made towards realizing these rights in India and will inform the development of more effective policies and programs. newlineI hope that this thesis will contribute to the ongoing discourse on
