There are about 15 million disabled people in Bangladesh, with the number rising by about quarter million each year,this survey was done by WHO in 1985. About the same rate being faced by many countries, both large and small, across the world. Like other countries, Bangladesh should also provide a decent and viable infrastructure to support us. It is not impossible, there are many countries which have achieved it to quite a high degree. However, for any reforms to happen, we must first raise awareness of the fact that something needs to be done about this issue.
