Hello Mr. Nikhil Jain, Mr. Rakesh Gupta, Mr. Pradeep Kapoor and others, I found The article about Visually Challenged Painters from a News Paper and I don't have any more information about it at present. Any way, I'll definitely try to find out more about it and post it to the list. Regards, Vishal Jain Ph : 080-41140564 Website : http://vishal.hello.googlepages.com
