Visual impaired Achievers felicitated

Justice S.Nagamuthu Madras High Court; Akhila Srinivasan, MD, Shriram Life Insurance; and K.Govinda Krishnan, founder of Nethrodaya, were among those who presented awards to  visually challenged students who have performed well in the examinations in a function organized by Nethrodaya, an organization for the visually impaired.

Visually challenged but academically brilliant, Pradeep R., a student of St.Louis School for the Deaf and the Blind, Chennai, is staunchly determined to become an IAS officer and A.Jareen Banu, a resident of a village in Karur, plans to study English literature to become a professor.

It was indeed inspiring to see the determination of the visually impaired, who expressed their vision in their life. While most of these students, largely from rural schools, expressed their desire to study English literature, some talked about their interest in economics and music, too. As technology pervades life in general, most of them accepted that CDs, cassettes and even ipods with specially crafted audio lectures and unique revision techniques enabled them to retain concepts.
