Abstract :

In today‘s changing social scenario a large sector of people spend their life at work. On an average, people work around twelve hours per day which forms one third of their entire life span. Work is an integral part of everyday life as it is the individual‘s livelihood or career. Hence work should yield satisfaction, give peace of mind, fulfillment of having done a task fruitfully, constructively and purposefully not only to common man but also to the special category people. People with disability have the same basic rights like all other citizens. The Government of India has taken up a number of measures to ensure relevant benefits to the persons with disabilities for seeking employment through reservation quota and also to provide services and facilities to the employed disabled persons. This research study attempted to find out the socio economic profile of special category people and their awareness towards various welfare measures provided by the government which plays a major role in the quality of life of differently abled people.
