The responsibility has been placed on the government to facilitate the rights of disabled persons such as the right to equality, dignity, and respect for their integrity, right to protection, right to live in a community, etc. The disability policy requires the private employers to frame an equal opportunity policy, appoint a liaison officer, identify posts for disabled persons, prohibit discrimination, and conform to accessibility norms.
