Hello Sameer, went through the entire report. Good effort. But the surprising facts are that there were no participants from the schools like the Victoria Memorial school, the Happy home for the Blind, and Pragati Andha Vidyalaya Badlapur. The Konkan region seams to be completely abcent. In fact, I was the first member to initiate a discussion on this important topic. But I did not receive much response. Further, the blind persons, who have spent their entire life in the field of education should have been invited or at least should have been informed about it. I have worked on the education committee of NAB for eight years. Ms. Kalpana Kharade is another name. Any way, I congratulate the Snehankit teem for their valuable achievement.
