Abstract

There are sufficient good laws to take care of the needs of the students with disabilities in educational institutions in India but it does not mean that there are no problems to the students with disabilities in the medical colleges and hospitals. A question definitely arises that is the faculty and other employees of the medical colleges are aware of the needs of such students or there is a requirement to sensitize the faculty and employees about the rules, regulations, and rights of the disabled students so that such students do not face any problem in their day to day activities and requirements.
