Chandigarh, March 19:

 Punjab has become the first state in India to introduce sign language in its Legislative Assembly to facilitate persons with disabilities. Sharing this information, Social Security, Women and Child Development Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur stated that the Punjab government, under the leadership of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, has taken this unique initiative to address the concerns of persons with disabilities.

 Dr. Baljit Kaur highlighted that under Section 40 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act, 2016, it is essential to make communication systems accessible to ensure that individuals with disabilities are aware of their human rights. In line with this, the Punjab Legislative Assembly will also be broadcast the Governor’s Address, Budget Session, and other important discussions in sign language.

 The Cabinet Minister further mentioned that she had recommended this initiative through a semi-official letter to the Speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, which has now been accepted. She emphasized that this step would significantly contribute to making legislative proceedings fully accessible to individuals who are unable to speak or hear.

 Dr. Baljit Kaur also recalled that, for the first time, Punjab celebrated International Sign Language Day in September 2024 to promote inclusivity for persons with disabilities. She urged the Assembly administration to implement this initiative at the earliest, ensuring that legislative proceedings are available in sign language. This would enable persons with disabilities to stay informed about government policies and decisions.
