Hello sir or madam: This is regarding your request for some info about the facilities for VI students. I don't know about other states, but in Andhra pradesh, The facilities for a VI students are to bad, worse. All the regional universities like Osmania university, Nagarjuna, Andhra, KU SKU has nothing like the E-libraries accessible Pc's with the softwares like JAWS and so on. I'm sure about Osmania university, but other universities also has dearth for such facilities. In this state only English and forign languages university, (EFLU previously known as CIEFL) and Hyderbad Central university (HCU) has some computers with JAWS and all. I'm not sure about the quality. You can scann the material and read them. You can share them among your friends. I'm almost sure that there is nothing like E-library... Other regional universities mentioned earlier have the very bad facilities. The mistake lies with both the management for not taking the initiatives and risk for all these, as well as with the students for not bringing the pressure on to the management. Though people like me want to take some initiative, not much support from the students. To be frank, the quality of education among visually impaired is not up to the mark, and in accordance with the current requirements. It's too traditional, in Hyderbad most of the students are not ready for change and advancements, because of Home hostels provided by the governament. That's it for now, more we'll discuss on the list or separately. Thanks for bringing such a nice topic on to the list. I want to do some thing to improve the quality of our education. Regards, Govind.
