Synopsis: "Imperative for Inclusion: A Passionate Plea" by Nir Shrestha explores the challenges and opportunities for disability inclusion in Nepal. The book delves into the legal and governance frameworks established by the 2015 Nepalese Constitution, highlighting the gaps between policy and practice in areas such as education, healthcare, and independent living. Shrestha emphasizes the need for effective advocacy, long-term planning, and active participation of persons with disabilities in governance. He shares personal experiences to illustrate the barriers faced in education and calls for improved resource allocation and teacher training. The book also addresses the importance of digital accessibility and the societal attitudes that hinder disability inclusion. Shrestha advocates for comprehensive support systems, including personal assistance and community support, to ensure independent living and resilience in disaster scenarios. Through a mix of personal narratives and policy analysis, the book underscores the necessity of transforming disability inclusion from aspiration to reality.
