Dear All,
Thanks to the good work of Ms. Parimala Bhat and the Snehankit Helpline, the
Mumbai University has removed one obstacle faced by blind / low vision
students while giving University examinations. In the old system, the
candidate had to approach the University after carrying the necessary
permissions form their respective principals to the University. The
University would then give them a permission letter which they would have to
carry to their centre.
In the new system, the Principal of the student's college would write to the
Chief Conductor of the Centre.
Thanks. Good work Snehankit Helpline.
I am pasting below the text of the Circular.
