Dear all
NAB Delhi appreciates concerns related to safety of students studying in
institutions. Be rest assured that we are more concerned about safety of
our
students than anyone else in this world. Do notice this fact that the
incident was not reported by any student but was caught by the vigilant
staff of the institution itself. This has happened due to various measures
put in place by NAB Delhi for this purpose. Strong evidence against this
crime too is a result of several measures taken by the institution in past
many years. Many advised us that we should hush this matter and not file
FIR
against the person. However. Taking bold step of going to the police and
reporting about this and not trying to hide such incident is testimony
about
our commitment to fight against this menace.
Right now law is taking its due course. All investigations, introspections
after a shocking incident like this and deriving learnings from this are
all
happening.
Over all, we have seen solidarity from all sides and assistance is offered
to us so that we are not left alone in taking this fight to its
conclusion.
I feel and so do many of the supporters that this is time to stand in
solidarity and make sure it should be the criminals who should feel
scared
and not the ones who take the courageous step of bringing such matters to
light.
Be rest assured that as per its standing of past 40 years, Nab Delhi will
uphold its values and continue to bring about revolutionary changes for
the
betterment of persons with blindness. We are determined to emerge stronger
from this adversity too.
Do not forget that often child abuse happens by most trusted members of
family or friends and this is what has happened to us too. This kind of
betrayal has shocked us and pained us to no end. I sincerely hope that we
will get support from the community to fight against child abusers and
not
start getting victimized by the community itself.
Our responses to these discussions will be slow to come by as we are busy
in
investigations, providing adequate support and counseling of students
after
coming into light of such incident, following up with the police case and
dealing with mainstream media in addition to the regular work of the
institution.
Thanks
Dipendra

As we lambast government for its failure, So we have equal rights to dwell
deep into wrong-doing in the NGO sector also. They afterall seek money in
the name of blind people's welfare.The recent incedent which surfaced at
National Association for the blind Delhi is just a tip of the iceberg.
Over
the last two years the sexual assaults faced by children and female
residents have been widely reported in the media.
I remember, the female students at NAB Bangalore complaint harassment
against the NAB Bangalore officials, and the Karnataka CCPD took some
action after being pressured by the civil society. The Panch Koyaan school
in Delhi which is also known as 'andh Maha vidyalay' was also in the news
recently where scenior students continued abusing junior students sexually
for years and the administration of the school took no action. I also
remember couple of years back, A reporter working with Manorma magazine
has
brought forth the issue of sexual assaults faced by women residents at
Sant
Nagar hostel by the donors and the administration didn't barred donors
from
visiting hostels.
notwithstanding the unreported harassments which go unnoticed in hostels
where blind children/female students reside, The above cited case studies
paint a very scary portrayal of insecure atmosphere which impede the
overall
development of blind children. Donation is the key to sustaining these
institutions but putting at stake the psychological and physical
well-being
of young students raises several burning questions about day-to-day
functioning of such institutions.

I think antecedents of volunteers also must be checked.
However, not checking antecedents is different from deliberately
allowing bad people to come in and volunteer.
Whatever, management should learn lessons for future.

Subject: [DKIM Failure] Re: [Ai] Restrict discussion on the NAB Delhi
incident
I do not know whether mail will be covered or not, but still writing
with few questions. Is NAB Delhi not a voluntary organisation running
a school for the blind students and is it not the fact that it is not
an individual business? Why personal then and why indirect threat of
police under the term 'perhaps'. Nab did well by lodging an FIR
against person but are we not interested to go beyond in the interest
of organisation who such incident took place in the hostel and we
cannot save our skin by saying that it is a sudden incidence. Nothing
happens suddenly. Nothing hhappens suddenly in this world and with a
person who is cclaimed to be physiccally and mentally unfit. Voluntary
work never means to permit the worstt of the society to the blind
persons and that is why I used to talk about the pathetic condition of
the blind in terms of the outlook towards them by the society at large
and the administrators of the majority of the voluntary organisations.
Are we not interested in bettter image of this prestigious institution
and do we not need to peep into facts in a genuine manner to see the
better future of this institutions. If today, we make use of the
useless tactics by avoiding discussion or making inquiry about these
things, I strongly feel that we are the enemy of this institution and
it will wither away with its misdeeds. to

Dear Harish,
The incident reported in the newspapers and by Radio Udaan is under
the POCSO act where peple are forbidden to reveal anything which
could lead to the identity of the victims.
The way peple discuss things on the AI list, I am afraid it could
invite legal action by the police.
So, please do not allow this to go through. I am ofcourse available to
answer fquestions on phone or personal email.
Yesterday Radio Udaan has done a very disturbing show on this already
and they got lot of complains already.
Thanks,
Prashant Verma
