Welfare Schemes
for Differently Abled
Person (WS-DAP)

IC Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu developed
‘Welfare Schemes for Differently Abled
NPerson (WS-DAP) Person’ Mobile App acts as
a citizen charter for differently-abled persons &
provides details of welfare schemes implemented
by State & Central Govt. Departments.

The government of Tamil Nadu is committed to
the all-around development of differently-abled
persons. Towards achieving this goal, the State
Government created a separate department
for differently-abled persons during 1993. As a
pioneering step, the Government also formulated a
comprehensive welfare policy during 1994. The State
Government’s endeavor is to create an inclusive
society by integrating the differently-abled persons
in the mainstream by eliminating all kinds of
issues raised by the community. The Government
also provides a number of comprehensive welfare
measures to different categories of the differently-
abled person barriers causing hurdles in their
overall development. Several innovative schemes
have been introduced to prevent and control the
occurrence of disabilities and their after-effect. Many
steps have been taken to access the rehabilitation
services through recognized and registered Non-
Governmental Organizations. The app provides
information service on various welfare schemes for
the differentially abled.
