Is a Disable/handicapped person BPL?

Dear Mr Roy,
I have not heard of any such govt. policy which, in a straightforward way, includes all the disabled people in BPL category simply by ignoring their original economic condition. However, it is now an established fact that about 42% of the disabled people in our country are living BPL (UNDP,2011). As per the estimates of the World Bank India has 40 – 80 million disabled people. They are the worst affected due to their limited access to health care, education and employment. For these populations, disability only accentuates poverty and social exclusion. The key factors for the rise in the number of people with disabilities in India are mainly poor diet, disadvantageous living as well as working conditions, limited access to health care, lack of sanitation and hygiene, and restricted access to information. Dr. Amartya Sen, at the World Bank’s conference on disability, has pointed out that the poverty line for disabled people should take into account the extra expenses they bear for combating their physical irregularities. Therefore it can be reasonably assumed that majority of the disabled people can be taken into BPL category. But, it’s not true that whoever is a person with disabilities should always be brought under BPL, disregarding his economic condition!
I support the views of Mr. Acharya on this issue. Other members of the forum may also come out with their views and, share knowledge.
