Hello list. this latest blow has been an absolute shocker for us. we, the JNU Visually chalenged Forum has taken this issue with atmost seriousness, however, as you all know, it is not just an issue with JNU. this statement of the JNU VC is the beginning of the ringing of the death bell of whatever limited state action for the disabled community in this country. please, it is time for action!. these atempts at spreading disaster for us should be resisted with all possible means!. I hope that access India becomes the platform for this struggle!.
