development cannot be achieved without bringing in inclusivity for the Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) in every walk of our lives. Immense and aggressive planning needs can be fullled if the numbers are known and utilized for the best interest of these persons. In the absence of regular Census, in the case of Pakistan, the eort by the Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD) to run projections for the PWDs is a noble eort. I would stress that with the ratication of the Convention on the Rights of the Persons with Disabilities by Pakistan, the Government needs to be proactive in removing obstacles that befell PWDs at national level. This cannot be done unless the data pertaining to them and their rights is not known. After 1998, when National Census took place, no eort has been undertaken by any public or private sector organization to conduct survey about the PWDs at any level. In this situation, the eort made by HHRD to produce latest data for 2012 is highly appreciating and this will help to meet various challenges concerning PWDs particularly with regard to planning purpose. Governments (Federal and Provincial) need to do more to support PWDs by implementing various Policies and Action Plans particularly the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This further requires integrating the needs of PWDs into national Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) agendas. A concrete action plan along with lines of MDGs must be developed using the skills, information and data prepared by the HHRD. I congratulate HHRD for undertaking this task and wish that the Government of Pakistan acknowledges this eort and use these projections in the interest of PWDs and in implementing its policies, the Convention on Rights of Persons With Disabilities and other international instruments.
