Yes, a big loss. She also had her contribution for Braille literacy.
Praying for the departed soul.

Swaran guided me from low vision to blindness. She and her husband
Suresh Ahuja the former ED of the National Association for the Blind,
India answered all my queries and laughed away with practical
solutions my uncertainties.
She spoke at the Accessindia Convention in Ahmedabad.
Modest and unassuming she was a great person.
The chautha ceremony is today at her home(Churchgate, Mumbai) at 5pm.
She is survived by a daughter Rati and grandson Viraj.

Dear members, I feel extremely sorry to inform you that Mrs.
Swaran Tai Ahuja passed away at Rajastan. She was renowned as an
encyclopidea of the blind. She was a dedicated teacher, having
several innovative ideas. She played a vital role in shaping the
Dadar School for the Blind. She was my beloved teacher and taught
me when I was in the fourth standard. She also had a lion's share
in shaping the Teachers' Training course for the Blind. She was
awarded the Rustoom Alpaiwala prize. Very few sighted people know
braille to the level of Mrs. Ahuja. She was a personification of a
loving teacher. Modesty was her other name. No need to say that
she will reach the havon.
