"Parvai Atror Kural’ has two objectives: identifying and encouraging the visually impaired writers to write stories, novels, essays etc and also help them express their grievances.
The print version of the magazine will also be made available to the subscribers. This novel initiative was announced by Professor M. Sahadevan, General secretary of the Tamil Nadu Unit, N.F.B., recently.
Speaking on the occasion, Sahadevan highlighted their grievances that included non-implementation of the one percent reservation for blind people under the Tamilnadu State Act of 1981 and the Persons with Disability Act 1995 in the state.
He hoped that the state Chief Minister would enhance their pension from Rupees 250 to Rupees 500. Sahadevan alleged that many telephone booths run by the visually impaired people had been removed on the pretext of removing encroachments and beautifying the city.
