Hi All, I am hoping to help create a resource - a booklet if you will - of FAQs that would be useful for Indian blind students who aspire to go abroad for pursuing different levels of higher education. This would include stuff like: information on the pros and cons of doing this from an accessibility and quality of life standpoint; pointers for making the transition smoother; obtaining reasonable accommodations for qualifying exams, if any; applying for scholarships like the Rhodes; names of blind folks who have gone from India to study at various universities, etc. this can be widely disseminated in the VI community.
So far, Kartik has enthusiastically endorsed this project and shown interest. I am hoping to hear from other blind people from India who are willing to contribute to this initiative. Please reach out to me off-list if you fit this description. Best, Rahul Bajaj, Rhodes Scholar - University of Oxford India and Linacre, 2018.
