Tips for your answer

✅ 1. Shift the Narrative: "Charity" → "Rights-Based Approach"
Do not present disability pensions as welfare doles. Frame them as a constitutional and legal entitlement based on Article 21, Article 41, and the RPwD Act, 2016. This demonstrates a mature governance perspective.
✅ 2. Use the "3D Framework"
Structure your answer around:
Dignity → Right to live with dignity for PwDs.
Development → Inclusive growth, poverty reduction, SDGs.
Digital Governance → Aadhaar, DBT, portability, unified registry.
This makes the answer analytical rather than descriptive.
✅ 3. Balance Welfare with Fiscal Prudence
Do not only argue for higher pensions.
