very sorry to read, i would visit him every year,
during my visit to India.
he would say, you are here only for few weeks, don't visit this old
guy, spend your time meeting other intresting people.
he was the one who informed me about
mobility international Eugene Oragon USA leadership programme way back in 1989.
he motivated me to take part in this event.

We have lost Dr. Rajendra Singh Sethi.
He was the first person with multiple disabilities to get a Phd.
When he was very young people thought that he was intellectually
challenged till they found out that he had a hearing impairment and
that he was actually quite brilliant. He was one of the first few
Blind persons to study in the integrated system -more than 50 years ago
He was involved with NAB India and with Helen Keller Institute in
various capacities.
An entusiastic writer (Editor of various publications) and
reader, Dr. Sethi would share his information, his braille
materials including the publications that he got from abroad and
rendered help to many.
His readers always found him to be very nice, informative and a
great source of help.
I first met him a few years ago in some Disability related
conference and got awe struck by the questions he asked. He sat near
the speaker system so he could catch the words and he never failed
to participate. As I grew to know him, I found his keen sense of wit
and got dollops of wisdom from him. Later on I discovered how he had
been mentoring some Disabled people and doing what their parents
could not do. He was one of the rarest Disabled persons I have
met-one small illustration is that he sent me his best reader so I
could benefit.
I have just learnt that he won a WBU international essay competition
some years ago.
I will misss Dr. Sethi who always had something of use for me.
