I know Avinash, it is very very sad. I do wish I could do something for them. Let us at least begin somewhere. And imagine the state of the female blind citizen in those circumstances? Lately I have had the opportunity of going from village to village in and around Delhi and UP and Haryana, I can't even begin to write about their state! It has torne me apart! The female is as it is in a horrendous state, imagine the ones who are blind?
Therefore, I have decided to at least make a tiny beginning from wherever I can with the limited or should I say no resources! Let us all keep trying whatever we can do, and I am sure something somewhere will turn up and conditions will begin to improve!

Subject: Re: [AI] Reply to Ishita's mail regarding jobs for blind individuals - Re: my quriyocity are normelpeopleintrestedinmarryingblindpartners You are right sir. But what about those persons with disabilities who are between 18 to 35 years of age,unemployed, unmarried, abandoned by families and invisible to the state? whom Cambridge based educationist Nidhi Singal has rightly termed: "forgotten youth with disabilities".
