Computer Training For Visually Impaired
Foundation Course in Computers and Employability
Duration: 6 Months
The new batch for Foundation Course in Computers and Employability for the visually impaired will commence on March first Week, 2019.
Introduction to RCG Foundation:
CHENNAI: In January 2017, when we met Vasanth Raghuvir, managing trustee of the Shakti Foundation ahead of their 27th annual fundraiser concert, she shared a positive observation with CE, “The ‘pity factor’ towards persons with disabilities (PwD) is slowly fading away. Another perceptible advancement is that a lot of young PwDs have got married to able-bodied persons. They share work, run households and also work. Acceptance is slowly growing in society. It’s not sympathy that they need but empathy.”
