Centre launches new portal for disability welfare scheme proposals

The Centre has launched a new dedicated online portal for submitting and processing proposals under the Deendayal Divyangjan Rehabilitation Scheme (DDRS) and the District Disability Rehabilitation Centres (DDRC) Scheme to streamline the application process.

According to an official communication dated July 7 from the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD), the e-Anudaan portal (grants-msje.gov.in) has now been discontinued for DDRS and DDRC-related proposals.

In its place, a new exclusive instance of the e-Anudaan portal has been rolled out and is live at https://grants.depwd.gov.in, according to the communication.


"All data from the previous portal has been successfully migrated to the new platform, ensuring seamless continuity and accessibility of existing records," said Ram Charan Meena, Under Secretary to the Government of India, in the letter addressed to all state and district authorities and Project Implementing Agencies (PIAs).

Authorities and agencies have been instructed to use the new portal for both fresh applications and for accessing older submissions under the DDRS and DDRC schemes.

These schemes are central to the government's efforts to support persons with disabilities by funding services such as education, rehabilitation, vocational training, and awareness generation.
