How India treats people with “Down Syndrome” (mentally retarded)

There are over 20 million mentally retarded people in India – of which two million are children. They are being deprived of their chances of rehabilitation because of governmental indifference towards their problem. This disturbing fact surfaced at the Third Asian Conference on Mental Retardation which ended in Bangalore recently. A majority of the delegates from 23 other countries had similar charges to level at their own governments.
In India the fate of the mentally retarded has been rapidly acquiring ominous dimensions. The government has so far set up 100 institutions for the care of the 20 million who are afflicted. Equally inadequate is the government’s support in financial terms – approximately Rs 4.5 lakhs annually for institutions with 140 patients.
