I too strongly support to launch such a campaign as it will help all persons with disabilities to be free from all hastles of carrying disability certificate.

Dear Harish, I also support of inclusion of disability to UI card. Because, I think if I have an UI card I need not to carry handicapped certificate or any kind of concession forms (including Railway concession form) to claim concessions in future. Can accessindia launch a campaign in this direction? Regards.
