These draft standards are formulated to establish non-negotiable requirements for the delivery of accessible, inclusive, and barrier-free services to persons with disabilities. They are grounded in the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPwD Act), which mandates equal access, non-discrimination, and reasonable accommodation across all service domains.
