Follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts: News- Broadly, Eric Ju Yoon Kim’s trip down the startup road had two major turning points – the first was when he moved from South Korea to Seattle after high school to study at the University of Washington. By the time he graduated, Kim knew he wanted to an entrepreneur, a decision that saw him launch four successful startups. The other was in a church, around the time he was running his third venture, where he met a visually impaired woman reading the Bible in Braille.

This Padma Vibhushan awarded saint has singlehandedly established an intermediate college and Jagadguru Rambhadracharya Handicapped University (JRHU) for blind and other differently-abled students of the country. At present, 1,346 differently-abled students are pursuing various courses in the university and 200 others are studying in the intermediate college established by the saint, who now aims to ask the Central government to give B grade by NAAC, a national differently-abled centre or a Central University. "There are many schemes, reservation and a law for protecting their rights but the policy-makers should ask for themselves, has these blinds or physically handicapped children got what they deserve from the society," questions Acharya Rambhadracharya, a PhD and scholar of 22 languages.
