The annual observance of the “International Day of Disabled Persons” on 3rd December is one of the many efforts by the United Nations to create international awareness and acceptance for the unique needs and abilities of the disabled community. It was proclaimed in 1992 by UN General Assembly. This year's theme focuses on empowering persons with disability for an inclusive, equitable and sustainable development as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 2030 Agenda pledges the principle, “leave no one behind”. It calls on governments, persons with disabilities (PWD) and their organisations, academic institutions and the private sector to work as a team to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
