Does the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 ensure effective mechanism for empowerment and inclusion of the intended beneficiaries in the society? Discuss

Empowerment need to be multi pronged: psychological, economical, physical, cultural and political.
This act does give the disabled, right to work, rght to medical access, righ to proper education, but does this psychologcally lift them? are there proper committees in the district under the charge of district collector, so that proper grievance mechanism are addressed, or is there transparency in addressing those. a lot need to be achieved on these front.
Web pages, W3 compliant, accessible india campaig, railways where coaches are retrifitted with the disabled friendly stairs, coach mitra initiative are some of the initiatives taken by the government.
There should be more state specific approach like Orissa, which has maximum no of disabled persons, budgetary allocation for social welfare schemes; should be maximum in orissa targeted at disabled people. Rcently there was global entrepreneur shummit; I wonder how many disabled persons would have received proper loans for starting new businesses under Start up India campaign from financial intermediaries like NBFCs/RRBs/MFI etc.
