SHAIKMOHIDEEN A group of visually-challenged students, who are pursuing their graduation and postgraduation courses in various colleges here, submitted a petition to Collector M .Karunakaran on Monday, seeking timely disbursal of their scholarship every year. The petitioners said they were not given their scholarship on time, which left them in deep trouble every academic year. The visually-challenged students, mostly from poor background, were continuing their studies despite several hurdles, they said. The official machinery's "failure" to ensure the timely disbursal of scholarships was threatening to scuttle their higher education, they alleged. "The scholarship is given to us only after we petition the Collector every year," said K. Ayyapandi, State general secretary of Palayamkottai Visually-Challenged School Old Boys' Association. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
