If you have a passion for getting something, you get it finally.
One of my very good friends, and an active accessindian amar jain has
proved this.
After a massive skirmishing with maharashtra government and his
university, he has finally got success to mold the circumstances in
his favor.
To read the achievement of this gentleman, you can point your brouzer at

I have pasted this news for your convenience below.
Amar, this is a great achievement dude, we need to take some
inspiration from you, salute for this massive skirmishing done, may
you go to a long way.
A visually-impaired law student has finally won his battle against the
Mumbai University after almost two years of perseverance. Amar Jain, a
second year law student, refused to use a writer for his exams after a
couple of bad experiences in the past. Well-versed in computers, Jain
insisted on attempting his papers online in stead. However, the
University rulebook did not permit any such liberty for a handicap
student. After pursuing for almost two years, the controller of
examination finally granted him the permission on Friday.
Jain, a student of the Government Law College, Churchgate, got a
writer from a Hindi medium school to write his English paper in his
class XII exams. He was disappointed to get only 55 marks because Jain
had been a distinction student all his life. He decided to learn
computers and was happy that he could attempt his own exams with the
help of a screen-reading software. However, the University had not
adopted the University Grants Commission (UGC)'s circular allowing
blind students to use computers, which was passed in 2006.
With a little help from his principal, Parimala Rao, Jain approached
the university. His application was forwarded to the Dean of Law,
Mumbai University, which was then handed over to the controller of
examination. However, nothing happened after that and repeated
inquiries with the additional registrar's office at the examination
house in Kalina were futile.
This year, Jain directly wrote to the vice-chancellor's office, on his
new principal's suggestion. He approached the VC's office, early this
month, and was pleasantly surprised by their quick response. "My
letter was forwarded to the controller of examination this month. And
they have finally granted me permission to write the exams using the
screen-reader software this Friday. I am thankful to the controller of
examination and the VC for finally making this provision available to
me," said Jain.
The controller of examination, Vilas Shinde, however, said, "The
letter came to me and within three days I passed the order. The state
government had already issued a circular in the past allowing blind
students to use computers or typewriters, but the university needs to
release its own circular on the same. So the permission was not
granted. The student should have directly approached higher
authorities earlier."
