STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
Through an executive order dated the 31st January, 1986, Government had set up the Rehabilitation Council to enforce standards of training of rehabilitation professionals. The Council prescribes minimum standards of education and training professionals; recognises certain institutions for conducting training programmes leading to degrees or diplomas. The Council also recognises foreign degrees or diplomas or certificates on reciprocal basis and maintains a Central Rehabilitation Register of persons who are allowed to practise or seek employment in rehabilitation services of the handicapped.
