Dear friends, There are quite a few people with visual impairment in India who aspired to do MBA, found ways to tackle the challenges in their path and are now successfully engaged in their professional life. Mohammed Asif iqbal is one such example. He is now with Price waterhouse Coopers in Kolkata. He lost his eyesight due to Retinitis Pigmentosa, but didn't let his high spirits go down.
Travelling around the world is a dream for many. James Holman was one such person who had the distinction of being the most accomplished traveler of his times. By the middle of the 19th century, James had traveled almost 250,000 miles around the world. James Holman was blind. Harish Bhimani is with us in episode 31 to tell us more about the traveling experiences of James and how he managed them. We know that in India the Persons with Disabilities Act 1995 gives equal rights to people with visual impairment or other disability. Provisions have been made to give equal right in education, employment, poverty alleviation schemes, access to public places etc. In episode 31 we have with us the Chief Commissioner for persons with disabilities - Dr.Manoj Kumar. Dr.Manoj Kumar tells us in detail about what can one do when he /she faces discrimination on the basis of their blindness or any disability. So listen and let others also know about this information, inspiration and entertainment packed radio show.
