Every year on 3 december 'World Disabled Day' is celebrated worldwide. The main purpose of celebrating this day is to bring a change in the behaviour of people towards the disabled and to create awareness among them about their rights. Every year, on this day, there is a deep discussion on the development, and welfare of the disabled, giving them equal status in society.

However, according to disability rights activists and academics working on disability issues, this number in the census is a very small part of the actual number. The 'International Day of Persons with Disabilities' is not just limited to physical conditions, but also includes mental disabilities.
