Abstract:

Each case of differently abled is unique and an in-depth study is required to study the uniqueness of each case. Unarguably, those who are staying at home are provided a close knit environment of the family, care and the requisite facilities by their family members, a few step out to utilize the opportunity and take the challenge to study in educational institutions. In the present paper an attempt has been made to study one of the Departments of the Panjab University, Chandigarh to know the various infrastructural facilities existing in the department. The study found that infrastructural barriers are existing in institution of high repute and students have silently accepted these hindrances as a part of their life and never demanded anything from the authorities.
