Gathering social parity with an aim to involve the physically challenged individuals is the first step for growth in the economy that offers more sustainability for an environment that is more inclusive. With social inclusiveness and awareness amongst the masses with no biases for people belonging to different backgrounds or inabilities there has been more acceptance shown in the society towards the visually impaired.
Thane Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) will bring visually impaired students studying in civic schools across the city in one centre and provide them with special teaching methods. There are 34 students who will be enrolled in a school at Kopri, Thane, in the new academic year in June.
“In the first year, we will only enroll students from civic schools. Gradually, we open it for admissions for other students. By then, students and teachers will get used to the new teaching methods,” said Manish Joshi, deputy municipal commissioner, TMC.

To create awareness on the challenges faced by the visually challenged and to raise funds for a ‘talking library’, a fund-raising event was organised in Salem.
The unique part of the event was that the guests were asked to dine blindfolded. Dinner was served for them and they were blindfolded to have ‘dinner in the dark’.
Jack Duffy-Protentis said he has enjoyed working with his hands since childhood and looks forward to working in the automotive industry.
EASTON — Jack Duffy-Protentis is less than a year away from graduating and starting a career as an engineer, a field that he enjoys because it allows him to work with his hands.
In addition to being a college student and learning concepts from chemistry and physics he has applied to his work, the Easton native has faced another challenge: being visually impaired.

This is not the typical blog topic you would find on my website. It isn’t centered around losing vision or living with blindness. Nope. Not this time.
“Wearing glasses is one thing and being totally blind is another,” said Vishwas M. Shetty, who participated in a blindfolded walk on the IIT-M campus on Sunday.
The Master’s student at the IIT-Madras said he had to wear glasses to correct his short sight. But Sunday’s experience at the event called ‘a walk in the dark’ gave him a perspective of what his friend Vishnu, a visually challenged person, faces every day.
“It is all about trust. I am going wherever he [the volunteer guide] is taking me,” he said.
In a paradox of sorts, ophthalmologists in the city on Sunday took part in a workshop led by visually challenged children. They taught the doctors how they saw the world through Braille and how they utilised modern technology to be part of mainstream society.
