Full form of PWD is ..................

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2021 Paper 2 Mathematical Science Question Paper (26-Sep-2021)
The correct answer is

Persons with Disabilities

In Indian law and rehabilitation psychology, PWD stands for Persons with Disabilities, as in the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. It was replaced by the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, which widened the recognised disabilities from 7 to 21.

The plural, person-first phrase “Persons with Disabilities” is the official legal term, also used in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006). Person-first language puts the individual before the condition.

The singular forms (“Person with Disability”, “People with Disability”) and “Pupil with Disabilities” are not the official expansion used in the statute.

Hence, the answer is Persons with Disabilities.
