International Disability Day 2025: Confronting the Real Challenges Behind Disability Benefits

The Real Duty to be Done When Observing International Disability Day, 03 December, Worldwide 

1. Laws Made for Disability: Do They Really Help?

I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the laws made for disability benefits. Most of these laws feel somehow wrong!

2. The Driving License Paradox: Convenience for Some, Burden for Disabled

You apply for a driving license from home, take the online test, and you’ll get your driving license. Though, you know well enough, someone else took the test for you after you passed the biometric online exam. Then pay 6000 INR for the next test, and the driving license will be delivered to your name at home. Maybe now the amount of money has changed somewhat.

3. The Heavy Burden of Document Collection: Distance and Disparity

But when it comes to disability laws, they say you will get these benefits. For that, you have to travel 100 kilometers to an office. And the supporting documents you must collect from your own village, district headquarters, and elsewhere; altogether maybe totaling 150 kilometers or more.

4. When Home Service is a Right, Why is Disability an Excuse for Distance?

Yet, if you want to open a bank account, a representative comes to your home. If you want to take a life insurance policy, an agent visits your house. But if you want life insurance as a disabled person, you have to travel 250 kilometers. The insurance agent even says, “If you show your disability first, there will be problems; get it done, then transfer the policy later.”

5. Stagnation in Disability Services: A Call for a Nationwide Drive in 2025

This is how stagnation has taken root in our lives. Now, one month before the International Disability Day on December 3, 2025, if the government, NGOs, and the Disability Ministry run a countrywide drive, we will survive. Wherever we are, government officials might come and remove this stagnation. Disabled people are treated like cows by them—as cows give milk, similarly, they expect us to keep giving.

6. The “Swavlamban Card” (UDID) Dilemma and the Online Application Trap

If I apply for a “Swavlamban Card” (UDID) after my disability certificate, I have to apply in the village where I belong. If I apply online in my absence, my previous certificate will be canceled—this has happened to me. Tell me, can you cancel documents issued by another office while sitting in your office? I gave supporting documents to your office, but those may have been issued by someone else in another office at some earlier time.

7. The Urgency of Transparency and Abolishing Corrupt Practices

So under the guise of this drive, no old documents should be canceled, and tips should not be demanded. 

8. Why True Inclusion Means More Than Just Laws on Paper

Already, round the World, the entire 2000-year history of human civilization that you have recorded and printed becomes a reason for our despair. 

Here I shall add my recent accidental incidents from Kolkata to Panskura Railway Station

🧩The greatest riddle for me-  disability Fastag exemption 

The greatest puzzle for me is the disability Fastag exemption.

I have never understood why other Fastag exemptions last longer, but the disability Fastag exemption is valid for only one year. Next year, I might sell my car, or I might not be alive anymore, or by the grace of troublemakers, my disability could multiply so much that I’ll be bedridden for the rest of my life!

What an incorrigible astrological-political-administrative approach this is in this sovereign land! I don’t know what’s happening in other parts of the world.
