Dear Friends,
This mail is to inform you of the sad demise of Prof Vinod
Sena, at New Delhi on 10 Dec 06. He succumbed to a cardiac arrest.
Prof Sena was visually challenged himself, while working
for the blind on issues he felt were important. He ran an NGO -
Shruti, which focusses on aspects affecting access to higher education
for the Print disabled. He helped to highlight issues like books for
the blind & corresponding benefits from modifications to the Copyright
laws. He was instrumental in establishing the first computer facility
for the Blind at Delhi University. He had also established a web site
for the Blind. Recently, on 2 Dec, he had been honoured with the
Hellen Keller award.
with best wishes
yours sincerely
Col P Kapoor
General Secy.
