Abstract
World Health Organisation (WHO) says with total world population of 650 million, persons with disabilities constitute the largest majority. As per United Nations report, 10% of population in underdeveloped countries is facing disabilities of one or the other type. If we include family members, advocates and all those affected by the problem of disabilities this is as high as 25% of population. Moreover, this number is constantly increasing through population, growth, medical advances and aging process.
