Disability inclusion, education and health policy in Rajasthan
Scroll sideways, use the arrow keys, or the buttons below.
Education and learning
Whether a school can actually include a child with a disability, in its building and its teaching. See inclusive education in India and the ASER report 2024.
Health and nutrition
Referral through RBSK and the Anganwadi Rajasthan network. Child nutrition here has worsened on two of three measures in the most recent national survey.
Governance and delivery
Why a policy that is sound on paper stalls between the state capital and the district. Budgets, staffing and accountability all sit in policy implementation at the district level.
Technology and public systems
Where AI in governance India genuinely helps, and where it adds a barrier. AI and accessibility for persons with disabilities is a design decision, not an afterthought.
