I also recommend that we do a session on marriage and matrimonial issues. I see so many wonderful well settled boys and girls who deserve the final social rehabilitation and a happy life but several factors are preventing it.

G Sent: 23 November 2013 20:09 To: neerajsaxena12...@gmail.com; AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Announcing the AI convention dates I think there can be a topic on how visually challenged should approach marriage. Laws, circulars, etc. can take care of education, employment, accessibility,.., but nothing can help when it comes to marriage. Its the attitude of the visually challenged, ability to instill confidence in the potential spouz and his/her family, and preferably some platforms that can bring people together that might solve the problem. So, I think a session can be dedicated to this issue. Second, many visually challenged people are struggling to socialise with the main stream society due to some reasons. This is happening with some people who come from special schools due to their inexperience in mingling with others as well as with those who become late blind and struggle to accept their newly acquired disability. So, the ability to socialise is more important for visually challenged than for others as it helps in being independent. I would have loved to present on the above topic. But I can not come to Delhi. Will come up with more on this thread. On 11/23/13, Neerajsaxena <neerajsaxena12...@gmail.com> wrote: > Some time slot must be alloted for discussing the role of n.g.o.
