Visually-impaired to become RJs
Dehra Dun: They may not be able to see, but they have
the gift-of-the-gab. And they may soon bring you all
the gossip, fun and music on your radio
sets.
For a set of visually impaired people, the vision of
life goes much beyond just being able to see as they
gear up for a career in Radio Jockeying, thanks
to a course by National Institute for Visually
Handicapped (NIVH).
With the mushrooming of FM radios across thecountry,
opportunities for blind people have increased, said
Anuradha Mohit, the director of NIVH, who is
also blind.
These people can also work as radio jockeys and in
broadcasting networks for which the centre will start
a broad-based course. Already the Chennai centre
of NIVH is providing a short-term course for enhancing
RJ skills, she said.
A similar course would commence shortly expecting to
train over 100 people, she said. Besides, NIVH is
planning to set up a new radio station.
