Although traditionally not an area of service delivered by special educators, the area of spirituality for persons with disabilities is receiving more attention as a quality-of-life outcome. With reference to Indian culture and education system, this particular component was existing in olden times but in a different way. The literature review examined the extent to which ancient educators were given the responsibility of the holistic development of children irrespective of their cast, creed and ability with equal attention. The results indicated that in tune of curriculum adaptation and modification along with bringing changes in the instructional strategies would bring the outcome expected. It has become a need of today to design a framework in which special education professionals may look beyond a sole focus on academic outcomes and they impart the knowledge which is really worthwhile and more global in nature for their students. Many authors have conceptualized spirituality as a personal experience of an individual searching for meaning, a higher quality of life that is accomplished through regular chanting of sacred mantras for their inner peace, harmony and connectedness to others.Keywords

Unemployed youth has been one of the burning issues for research and policy. Recent estimates from the International Labour Organisation (ILO) (2013a) suggest that high and rising unemployment rates among youth remain a key challenge to global development, especially in the developing world. This is particularly important in South Asian countries where about 85 per cent of youth (defined by the ILO as all those between the ages of 15 and 24 years) are poor, 70 percent live in rural areas and 11 million youth are expected to enter the labour market every year for the next decade (World Bank 2014). In spite of the emphasis on the right-based approach to disability, about 82% PwDs worldwide live below the poverty line (Cramm and Finkenflugel, 2008:16). An estimated 65-80% of 60 million PwDs in rural areas of India do not have access to basic minimum facilities (Ghai, 2001:29). This paper throws lights on an experiment done with Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (hereafter PwID) using natural properties (soil, seeds, seedling/saplings, plant, vegetables etc.) and significant differences observed during the experimentation. The researcher emphasizes that life skillsfor independent and dignified living can be taught easily to PwID with proper planning, networking and step by step implementation.Keywords
