Jadavpur University funds for 22 visually impaired students

Tue, 02/09/2021 - 11:28 -- geeta.nair

Jadavpur University has provided funds to 22 of its visually impaired students so they can stay at rented places that have good Internet connectivity and attend online classes.

The students, mostly from remote areas, used to stay at JU hostels. Since the campus was shut down in March following the Covid-19 outbreak, they have been staying at home. Many are unable to attend online classes because of poor Net connectivity in their localities.

These students cannot afford rented accommodations in the city because of financial reasons, said JU officials.

Atmanirbhar, a distant dream for the blind?

Imagine your dream of setting up an enterprise getting shattered because the bank you were counting on for finance, denied you a loan? Or think of yourself as a salaried person, yet unable to build your house, because the bank refused you a housing loan. 

How would you feel? Discouraged, right? This is exactly what Eyeway Helpdesk gets to hear from blind and visually impaired callers across the country. Every day, their banking rights are violated, citing disability as the reason. In addition to being discouraged, they feel humiliated.
