PRASHAST

Prashast app for Disability Screening Checklist for Schools

All disability conditions are not visibly identifiable. Given the lack of a uniform Disability Screening Checklist for Schools that covers the 21 disabilities as per the RPWD Act 2016 and acting on the vision of NEP 2020, NCERT has developed the Disability Screening Checklist for Schools and a mobile app PRASHAST i.e. "Pre Assessment Holistic Screening Tool" for schools. PRASHAST app will help for school based screening of 21 disability conditions recognized in RPwD Act 2016, and generate the school-level report, for further sharing with the authorities for initiating the certification process, as per guidelines of Samagra Shiksha - a flagship integrated program for school and teacher education under the Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India.
