Agreed entirely. However, I would appreciate the efforts put in by the people who are trying to organise jobs/opportunities for the VI.
My take is that the quality of education opportunities available for the VI are the pits. Focus has to be on getting more quality VI job aspirants into the job market. Our blind schools have to raise the bar. Maths and science has to be taught. Expectations from our blind youth has to be raised and greater discipline has to come in. Jobs will come ideally only when we are worthy of them. People will start thinking differently only when we get them to begin thinking differently.

Dear all, I agree that a few such initiatives are being taken by people at different levels. But the existing harsh reality is that most employers are not willing to hire people with vision impairments and this is what I hear every time from both individuals and organisations working in the area of disability. This scenario is very true particularly in a city like Chennai where the level of awareness about visual disability is very low. Please note that I am not against anyone or any efforts made in the direction of enhancing the job opportunities for the vision impaired segment. My only question is that how much of these efforts produce fruitful results for this group.
