Introduction to computer
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.
Illiteracy and poverty are reasons enough to miss out on the opportunities for social and economic progress in India. When it is coupled with a physical impairment, one can only imagine how life turns from bad to worse. Rahul Raj, an 18-year-old boy from Nevada, Uttar Pradesh illustrates the plight of an individual stuck in many levels of discriminations.
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.
Ravi from Harugeri village, Karnataka is now 25 years old, a decade and a half since he last went to school. He was born visually impaired (VI), like his elder sister, the eldest brother being the only sighted among the siblings. Born into a financially weak family, to illiterate parents dependent on manual labor for a living, life was full of struggles for the siblings.
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. Visually impaired people being denied the opportunity to pursue education, to write exams, to avail scribe facility etc. is one area that still needs large-scale advocacy.
Abhijeet (name changed), a 27 year old visually impaired hailing from Barmer, Rajasthan contacted Eyeway in 2018. While his ‘past’ inspired Eyeway, his ‘present’ seemed in contradiction to it. He comes from a six-member family but with meager finances. His father and four other brothers lived by daily labor. His father and the eldest brother died few years before but the rest of the family continued doing daily labor for a living. He is the only one in the family who has gone to school though not regularly or at the traditional age.
Swati*, a 15-year-old visually challenged girl, runs her fingers over the shuffled dots of a Braille book, attempting to understand a sequence of dots. Every time she touches it, she tries to relate it with pictures or events she has heard about. "I was never taught Braille. I have been tutored only through audio lessons," said Swati, who touched a Braille book for the first time.
18-year-old Shreya (name changed) hails from a small town called Kalady in Ernakulam district, Kerala. They are a small family of four, struggling financially. They live by the fishing job of her father and the daily-wage labor of her mother. Shreya and her brother are visually impaired since birth. Shreya suffers from a condition called Nystagmus which is an involuntary movement of the eyes that causes loss of vision and depth perception.
Coimbatore: Scoring centum in Social Science, S Sabari Venkat, a 15-year-old visually-impaired student, has secured over 96% in the Class X examination.
CHENNAI: Kathirvel Vijayabalan, a topper from the Government Higher Secondary School for the Blind in Poonamallee, always wanted to become a district Collector.
