Let’s remind ourselves of the duty towards People with Disabilities : Prez.

Kathmandu- President Bidya Devi Bhandari has offered best wishes to all Nepali sisters and brothers with disabilities at home and abroad on the occasion of the 29th International Day of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).

The President stated that the Constitution of Nepal had ensured the rights of persons with disabilities to live life with dignity and self-respect along with identity and their equal rights to public service and facilities.

President Bhandari in a message of greetings drew the attention of the concerned authorities to help them become self-reliant by providing them employment and skills training and constructing disabled-friendly physical structures to ensure their easy access to public services.

The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is observed on December 3 every year with the aim of promoting the rights and wellbeing of PWDs in all spheres of society and development and for increasing awareness.

Nepal is celebrating the Day across the country this year under the theme of ‘Ensuring Best Revival post-COVID-19: Our Collective Commitment for Access and Sustainable Development for Persons with Disabilities’.
