Abstract

Welfare measures for differently abled individuals are vital for promoting equality, enhancing quality of life, and empowering individuals. By providing access to healthcare, financial assistance, and vocational training, these measures help level the playing field, alleviate financial burdens, and improve socio-economic status. They enable differently abled individuals to participate actively in society, contribute to the economy, and lead fulfilling lives despite their disabilities. The present study deals with the coverage and awareness of welfare measures by Government bodies in Kerala. The data for the study was collected from 100 differently abled persons who residing at Kasargod, Kannur,Wayanad and Kozhikode districts of Kerala state.
