Hello sir, I'm not a regular listener of your program so far, but I seriously doubt whether you have given appropriate focus on visually challenged students studying in universities like DU and JNU. I am mentioning these two names simply because I have been and am a student in these universities and I have never notice the program covering any significant issue from these institutions.
