ONE DAY NATIONAL SEMINAR ON DISABILITY, REPRESENTATION AND LITERATURE aims to discuss and explore the societal attitudes towards persons with disability have changed from time to time.  Various factors contribute to these changing attitudes. Gender, education, religion,
occupation, income, nationality have a significant impact on the level of disability
consciousness. The Seminar is conducted successfully and participants tried to investigate the level of consciousness of different types of people towards disability in the selected Indian English fiction which deals
with the theme of disability to understand the various psychological and sociological
dialectics that take place in the life of a person with some kind of disability. The approach is
interdisciplinary as it aims at assimilating the psychological and sociological aspects in
analyzing the fiction of disabled people.
