Abstract
Person with disability has at some point or the other have encountered certain form of discrimination. For a long time, other marginalized groups have been prioritized at national front, since the time of MDGs, but PwDs were excluded even from that developmental initiative, which was to spread its arms across the globe. However, SDGs was launched with its 2030 agenda, emphasizing on PwDs, for the very first time at international platform. This paper critically analyze the provisions of SDGs from lens of human rights, inclusion and social justice at national and international levels. This review-based paper looks across various international and national documents, available literature and analyses the SDG provisions based on three broad themes, social justice, human rights, and inclusion, to understand the way conceptual understanding is brought out in the provisioning of the SDGs.
