The document discusses the issue of inconsistencies in estimates of the disabled population in Bangladesh and lack of adequate budgetary allocations for their development. While government policies emphasize inclusion of disabled people, actual budget spending does not match the scale of need. Only around 2.4% of the social welfare budget is allocated for disabled persons who make up around 2.6% of the total population. More focused efforts are needed to implement plans, laws and budgets effectively for the meaningful development of disabled people in Bangladesh.
