Author(s): Dr. Sujata Varma and Santosh Kumar
Abstract: This research study, under the vision of “Viksit Bharat @2047,” examines the role of parents in ensuring accessible, high-quality education for children with disabilities (CwDs) in rural India. The Government of India’s “Viksit Bharat” vision aspires to build an inclusive society where every citizen is entitled to equal opportunities, dignity, and the right to education. The provisions of the Indian Constitution- Article 21A (Right to Free and Compulsory Education), Article 41 (Protection of the rights of persons with disabilities), and Article 46 (Promotion of educational interests of weaker sections) form the foundation for this goal. In addition, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act [2], 2016 (Sections 16 and 17), the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009 [1], and the National Education Policy (NEP) [3], 2020 strengthen the constitutional framework for inclusive and accessible education.The study uses a mixed-methods approach, involving data collection from 150 rural parents. The findings reveal that most parents are sensitive and positive toward their children’s education; however, they lack adequate awareness of government schemes, legal provisions, and the principles of inclusive education. The study concludes that to achieve the goals of “Viksit Bharat @2047,” active parental participation, empowerment, and policy-level awareness are essential.
