Hi All: Bhavesh Chandubhai to get national award in the category of 'self-employed'. Two decades ago, Bhavesh Chandubhai Bhatia lost his vision, and soon after, his 17-year-old job as a hotel manager. The same year, he exhausted his savings on his mother's treatment for skin cancer. Bouncing back, he enrolled in a candle-making course at the National Association of Blind (NAB), Mahalaxmi. Starting with a modest hand cart, Bhatia, now 44, has since set up a flourishing business of designer candles, and employs more than 200 people - all visually impaired. Bhatia will be felicitated by President Pranab Mukherjee in New Delhi on December 3, on the occasion of the International Day of Disabled Persons. He will receive Rs1 lakh in cash, along with a citation. More at http://www.eyeway.org/?q=visually-impaired-man-get-national-award
