Dear Naveen, Thanks for sharing this. I am also sharing this and my response to accessindians.
I am sorry to say that the way the writer has maintained a complete silence about key demands, namely the introduction of a bridge course and shifting maths and science related foundation courses to the second year can not be a simple omission, particularly when he is fully aware about them. I am Kean to know whether it is a result of editorial expunging or something else? Further, this letter, at least as published in the Hindu, does not make any reference about the time frame that is required to make such provisions: whether DU can make them in such a short span of time? If not now, whether these will be attended with the importance they deserve once things become normalized. However, this letter is very important as it tells to the entire world that blind persons can and should study maths and science related courses if proper arrangements have been made. My worry is about the timing when this statement has been printed, about which I am not too sure. It should not happen that DU formally allows blind to study these subjects however practically excludes them by not providing adequate arrangements, which is very likely. It will thus repeat the same story that we all are too familiar in the schools.
