(a) A statement is annexed.
(b) The NPRPD envisages provision of rehabilitation services to persons with disabilities at grass roots level through a four tier structure- at Gram Panchayat, Block, District and State level. The steps in implementation of NPRPD by the states inter alia include; to select districts under the scheme, to identify/select possible collaborating institutions/organizations/professionals; to select Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Workers and Multi Purpose Rehabilitation Workers (MRWs) and provide them appropriate training for prevention of the causes of disabilities and for identification, early detection and timely intervention through community based rehabilitation; to initiate various rehabilitation and referral services at districts and state levels.
Due to initial procedural delays, implementation of the scheme started late in most of the states. 74 districts have been selected and the grass root level workers i.e. Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and Multi-purpose Rehabilitation Worker (MRWs) in these districts have been identified.
The training to these persons is at various stages of implementation. State Resource Centre have been established in 9 states i.e. Assam, Chhatisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Mizoram, Maharashtra,, Nagaland, Punjab and Chandigarh
