Please dont go near Nitin sule. He really sounds nice but our experience has
not beengood. Ask him if he has trained one dog and who is using that dog.
Ask him about the money he took from about 20-30 visually challenged.
What does Shirin mean by very very high- how much did she say. Was it in
thousands or in lakhs and how much will it get reduced by corporate
sponsorships? Kanchan

Well, I didn't know that Dr. Nitin Sule has done this to so many blind
people.
I have spoken with him many times, and he seems to be such a nice person.
This is really shocking!
Shirin Merchant says that she will be able to train and provide a
guide dog to me within a few months.
But the only issue is that she says that the cost of training a guide
dog would be very, very high.
She also told me that some corporate houses might be willing to help,
so the cost would get a bit reduced.
People all over the world have to face the same problems that are
associated with using a guide dog.
Just saying that it will not work in India is not a solution.
20 years ago, even JAWS and all other screen readers were not used by
anyone in India.
Today, we find that almost every visually impaired person, who has a
computer, uses JAWS.
We have to fight for our rights.
Why should visually impaired people in India not enjoy the privileges
that are enjoyed by visually impaired people all over the world?

Visually challenged people all over the world are commuting on the
public transpotation system and that's not an excuse to deny guide dog
usage. But unfortunately we don't have enough of institutionalized
mechanism to train and distribute such dogs in India. Naturally some
individuals take advantage of it and try to cheat us. The best thing
at this stage is to have awareness and of course fight for our right
to utilize multiple mobility aids including guide dog.

As per my openian, it is very difficult to use guide dog in indian
situations. Especially, many of us are depend on public transport like
city
bus or local train, then how can we carry them with us where we can
manage
us with very much difficulty?

Please do not go to Nitin Sule. he has taken money from many of us and
has
not given any of us a dog let alone a guide dog. If he is still
wandering
around the visually challenged then please let me know. I would be
happy
to complain to the police. Be aware and Be careful. I know atleast 3
others who have been cheated by him and I am sure I will be able to
find
a
few more.
If any one of you met him please ask him what he did with the money he
took from several visually challenged in 2005. No dog, no money and no
telephone call to apolagise.
Shirin trains dogs for the police and she was not willing to train dogs
for the visually challenge but if she is now willing then you could ask
her. Its been a long time since I last met her. I dont think anyone is
really qualified to train guide dogs in India.

Subject: [AI] Guide dog
Hello everyone,
I've been thinking about getting a guide dog for the last few months.
I even contacted Dr. Nitin Sule and Shirin Merchant for this purpose.
They are the only people who can provide guide dogs to people living
in
India.
Does anyone else here use a guide dog?
Do share your views on this matter.
I'd really like to know what everyone here thinks about using a guide
dog in India.
Cheers,
Rahul
