Dear All: Greetings from the Eyeway Helpdesk!
Follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News- HYDERABAD:Visually-challenged people from various parts of the country, who gathered at a national conference on Right to Education Act (RTE) here on Sunday, made a unanimous demand for equal opportunities for blind students in education. The participants, including noted educationalists, teachers and government employees, felt that education of blind students was being ignored by the central and state governments. The All India Confederation of the Blind (AICB) organised the conference to discuss the problems faced by the visually challenged in the education sector. Experts from various states participated in it. Most of the participants demanded that RTE be implemented for visually-challenged students. AICB general secretary and social worker JL Kaul appealed to the state government to improve the facilities at special schools, most which still depended on donations from philanthropists. He urged the government to sanction adequate funds to these schools. Source: http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/hyderabad/RTE-for-Visually-challenged-Demanded/2015/10/12/article3075701.ece.
