The Central Government notified the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Rules, 2017 under RPwD Act, 2016 on 15.06.2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rule 18(5) mandates the Central Government to appoint a date making it mandatory for the State\/UT authorities to issue certificate of disability through online mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UDID project is under implementation since 2016. Concerned authorities of all States\/UTs have been imparted training by DEPwD for working on the UDID portal (swavlambancard.gov.in).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The States\/UTs have been given adequate time to convert to online mode. It will ensure complete digitization of certification of disability from 01.06.2021, besides providing a viable mechanism for cross-checking genuineness of the certificate to achieve pan-India validity, and simplifying the process for the benefit of Divyangjan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
