When 18-year-old Govind Tripathi (name changed) from Agra, Uttar Pradesh contacted Eyeway, the prospects of helping him seemed difficult. He connected with a preconceived plan and he wanted Eyeway’s assistance only in the manner he anticipated. Govind wanted education and career-related assistance from Eyeway.  He is a computer enthusiast and he wanted to know how Eyeway could help him become a techie in a multi-national corporation (MNC). Eyeway always strives for the best and viable solutions for the visually impaired clients.

Pramod Dev (name changed) a visually impaired (VI) 45-year-old man from Pune is fighting an almost forgotten legal tussle. The battle he did not have the confidence to take up before, the battle he thought he would give up. Now with the assistance of Eyeway, Pramod has started a fresh case against the BSNL telephone operators for the fraudulence he was victimized to, more than 15 years ago.

Born into a seven-member family, Amit Tyagi from Hapur, Uttar Pradesh had a difficult time growing up. Initially, it was out of poverty, his parents who were manual laborers struggled to provide for the five children. He is the eldest among the siblings, ambitious and determined to make the best of his opportunities. Though the parents were poor and illiterate, they sent all the five children to the nearby village school. But it was for the eldest Amit, expected to take up the responsibility of the family on his shoulders, who had to face a major challenge in life – ‘late blindness’.

19-year-old Rakesh Singh from Champawat, Uttarakhand is yet another visually impaired individual who was denied his right to education by unaware authorities.
