DHRC Nepal is established in 2000 AD by a group of young people from different corners realizing the real situation of PWDs in Nepal. They themselves are having some kinds of disability due to which they suffered in the context of obtaining education, employment opportunities. Since its beginning, DHRC has been persistently doing hard work to create an equal opportunity to all People With Disabilities(PWDs) on the basis of all citizens without disability. DHRC-Nepal has accomplished various activities to make PWDs aware on human rights and the government to realize their responsibility to provide PWDs with their rights. So, DHRC-Nepal has became a catalyst between PWDs and the government for providing legally allocated rights to PWDs and passing the voice of grassroots to the government through advocacy and law.

Now, it can be proudly said that the devotion of DHRC-Nepal as a NGO, in the field of disability has made a notable achievement. The Supreme Court Verdicts on Free Education, 2060 and Sustenance Allowance with Attendant Charge to the severely and intellectually disabled people, 2069 are the examples of the major achievements which can be taken as a milestone for promotion of Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in disability rights sector.
