I believe a viklang vishvavidyalaya is run at chitrakoot by none other than padma vibhooshan ram bhadraacharaya. Or somebody named similarly... for mortals like me, it is herculean task to learn and say those heavy names, so pardon me.
Kuch bhee... http://www.deccanherald.com/content/491476/set-up-separate-university-higher.html Principal of Vid-yavardhaka College of Engineering B Sadashive Gowda, on Saturday, stressed on setting up a separate university for higher education of visually challenged ed students. Addressing the gathering at a seminar on ‘Encouraging visually challenged girls for higher education’, organised by UDIS Forum, Coimbatore, and Divya Jyothi Charitable Trust, Gokulam, here, Gowda said that according to a survey, there are over 80 lakh visually-impaired students in the country. “However, they remain neglected by the society, forcing them to suffer from lack of sufficient textbooks and other facilities. Efforts are being made to set up a separate university for the cause of visually-challenged students in Andhra Pradesh. If it becomes a reality, it will benefit the community in large numbers,” Gowda said. Gowda added, “When compared to normal students, who form 10 per cent of them who fail in engineering exams, it is exactly opposite in the case of specially-abled students. It is evident with the recent example of Ira, who was suffering from 65 per cent physical disability, yet emerged topper in IAS exams.” Former director of All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH) Na Ratna recalled his study on education for visually challenged students, during his visit to USA in 1956. “When USA seriously thought over the education of very category of students, it took time in India. Disabled students who achieve despite odds, should be a role model for the society,” said Ratna. -- 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.
