Hi Friends, Issue is not whether we should be discussing this here. Issue is what urgently should be done to get the school open and provide quality education to the blind students who are on its rolls! Such callous attitude on the part of Government who is managing the school only indicates what awaits those students who are studying there! Its against all the norms of SSA and Right to Education and the policy of the state on education as well as on Disabled children.
Has any body any update on the situation there? Thanks Srinivasu for bringing up such a matter before this forum.
