Abstract
The attitude of society towards women with disabilities is very precarious across the world. More or less the same mindset also prevails in India. Because of high rate of illiteracy, ignorance and being a member of developing country in this twenty first century, no one come forward to sort out this issue totally from, personal, familiar, societal and governmental point of view. Many NGOs, Social activists and GOs are coming forward gradually to take up this issue as an important factor for the inclusive growth of the country, but it needs more thought process and rigor to include the disables in the main stream. Most of the disabled women are subject to violence, betrayed by husband, misbehaved by nears and dears. They are deprived of good education, livelihood for which they feel that they are marginalized. This study has emphasized on the conditions and status of women with disability, particularly in the state of Odisha (previously named as Orissa) in India. This study is a part of an All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) funded project under Research Promotion Scheme (RPS). The study found out that there is association between age, educational qualification, family background and status, categorization of disability with women empowerment, satisfaction level towards life, sexual abuse, mental/ physical harassment, husband’s extra-marital affairs etc.
