Hyderabad: With an aim to help differently-abled people, a Hyderabad-based visually impaired woman has set up an online radio platform for not just entertainment but also to give valuable information to the people.

Minal Singhvi, a woman from Hyderabad, who lost her vision at an age of 28 is now laying a path for other people with disabilities to reach heights. She said that awareness must be created among the public about people with disabilities.

When Isaac Shapiro launched body-care brand Cleanlogic almost 20 years ago, he wanted to make the line accessible to visually impaired customers. While braille on packaging was nearly unheard of then, he was thinking of his mother, who lost her eyesight when she was a child.

Arsalan Showkat, a 20-year-old visually-impaired from Barbarshah Srinagar has qualified his class 10th exam securing 461 marks out of 500.

Arsalan, according to her mother Ruhi Showkat, was born a normal child, but three months after his birth he lost his eyesight.
 

Arsalan was studying in Solia Sublime High School, Rajbagh and appeared in the class 10th examination in November last year.

The 45-member board will be chaired by the social welfare minister and will play a key role in addressing problems faced by persons with disability and making the city disabled-friendly.

The Delhi government has set up a state advisory board on disability to assist the government departments in the implementation of the Rights of Persons with Disability Act, 2016.

Niraj Gera, a well-known social documentary photographer, chanced upon Deepak and Arti at Delhi’s Connaught Place last year, when the visually-challenged couple was walking towards the Metro station. “They were lovingly supporting each other and I could make out from their presence they were much more than friends. I couldn’t resist my eagerness to strike a friendly conversation with the love birds.
