        abstract = {This study investigates the plight of disabled women in rural India, highlighting the discrimination they face and assessing the effectiveness of government initiatives designed to support them.  The preponderance of India's demographic dividend resides in rural locales, which constitute the foundational bedrock of the nation's societal architecture. Despite the plethora of post-independence initiatives aimed at augmenting rural development, myriad challenges persist, thereby impeding the nation's progress. Although traditional ideologies and customs are undergoing paradigmatic shifts, certain marginalized cohorts, particularly disabled women, continue to face pronounced discrimination. The confluence of disability and gender exacerbates the marginalization of disabled women in rural India, resulting in limited access to opportunities and resources. This intersectionality perpetuates their exclusion from mainstream society, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. This paper endeavours to elucidate the condition of disabled women in rural Indian societies, with a particular focus on the discrimination faced by disabled girls and women. It also examines the implementation and efficacy of various government programs and policies aimed at addressing their needs.},
