PREFACE It is my privilege to submit the Country Report as the project has fulfilled all its objectives. IEDC scheme assessment was a very important task which has been completed successfully by the RCI project team. The assessment study has been the dream of many people who are related with this scheme directly or indirectly across the country. Project team ultimately completed the big assignment because of direct and indirect support of a large number of professionals and experts in the field of disability. There is ample scope for the researchers to study further in detail and interpret more because we have gathered voluminous data. Research team has tried best to analyze and interpret data in limited period of time.
First of all I express my utmost thanks to late Shri Lal Advam, Chairman of the core committee, who had enriched us by his unstinting support during the course of the work and also by providing important inputs at crucial times. It was a great opportunity to assess the impact of the scheme under his supervision as he had conceptualized and prepared the IEDC scheme.
I want to express my sincere thanks to Shri 0. N Singh former Director, Dept. of Secondary & Higher Education, for extending his helping hands whenever it was required A plethora of thanks is due to Shri B. Anancf, Director of Integrated Education Dept. of Secondary & Higher Education and Shri S. Prabhakaran Under Secretary along with the MHRD team for their continuous support.
We are thankful to the officials and educational administrators of Govt. organizations, Universities and Non-government organizations of the 18 states who have extended their helping hands towards RCI project team during the study. The state coordinators deserve special gratitude because they have performed their job perfectly.
Core committee Members and Resource Persons like Prof. P. Jayachandran Prof. Bina Shah Dr. Bhushan Punani Dr. Sanjay Kant Prasad & Dr. Manoj k. Dash have guided the project team by their vast knowledge and experience in the field of disability. I take this opportunity to express my indebt ness to the team of experts who have designed the schedules. All the staffs of RCI also deserve special mention for supporting the project team ungrudgingly whenever they asked for volunteering and sitting late in finishing the given tasks.Last but not the least thanks are due to the field investigators and monitors of the project who extended the desired co-operation in implementation of the project.
