I am
Alisha coordinator of Esha .Today I visited a blind school “The
Institution for the Blind” which is an oldest Institution of the
country was established in 1939 at Lahore and later migrated to Delhi
in 1947 at Punchkuin Road.
I saw
there the Institution nurtures an idea to integrate the visually
impaired into the mainstream of social life. It involves
parents/professionals and persons with missionary spirit to
contribute their best to help them in their rehabilitation. All at
the helm of affairs make earnest endeavor to provide these children
the opportunities needed for self-reliance and all-round development
of their personality. The Institute also aims to inspire and
inculcate in them the zeal and zest for comparable quality of life
through their full participation and ensuring equal opportunities.
I went
there to spread awareness about the audio library that Esha had
started. They were all impressed by the audio library and also
suggested the new ways to improve our audio library
The
Institution is running two schools for the blind children, in Delhi
.The admission in these schools are open only for the visually
handicapped boys in the age group of 5 to 15 irrespective of caste,
color or creed. All modern amenities are available in both the
schools. The education up to 8th standard
as per the syllabus prescribed by the Directorate of Education
Department of Delhi Government is given to the student. They are
providing free education with special subject of Braille along with
Vocational & Computer training. These students can get
admission in any Government school for higher education. The
performance of the students in these schools is quite
satisfactory. There many co-curricular activities of the
students..
It was
really good and motivational experience.
