Guardianship

Guardianship scheme is a legal arrangement where a person is appointed to care for another person or their property. In India, guardianship for people with intellectual disabilities is governed by the National Trust Act, 1999 and the Rights of Person with Disabilities Act, 2016

Guardianship under the National Trust Act

Under section 14 of the National Trust Act, the Local Level Committee headed by the District Collector is empowered to receive application in Form A under Rule 16(1) & appoint guardians in Form B under Rule 16(2) for persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation & Multiple Disabilities. It also provides mechanism for monitoring and protecting their interests including their properties.

Dr. Rita Agarwal, Director/Secretary of TEARS, is a member of the Local Level Committee (LLC) under the National Trust, serving alongside the District Magistrate of Agra and a representative from the Persons with Disabilities category.

Why Guardianship?

1. To fill a legal vacuum since other laws of guardianship are only for minors

2. Impaired capacity of persons with disability for making informed decision making.

  • - Provide access to healthcare services
  • - Ensure legal protection and support
