Before commenting on the main issue (which is infrastructural limitations in the NIVH premises for the blind), I consider that it is important to rectify the errors that have been made in the first mail of this thread. vebelieSince this list has large readership, spreading across the globe, people who read it must be having disparate purposes/ interests of their own for making reference to it. I believe that one should write on such a big platform with great sense of responsibility and sincerity. Some of its readers could be researchers who would consider this list a resource for collecting data for their study, errors like this may mislead them bitterly. In clarifying my position I would say, that I am not speaking as an agent of NIVH here, I am simply trying to put forward my opinion on the basis of my experience of 10 years long with the institution. Guys, ‘NIVH’ is written as "National institute of the visually handicap" in that mail mistakenly. It is 'National institute for the visually handicapped' rightly. We need to strive hard to make that institution in tune with the mistakenly given title. Further, it was also stated in that mail that MSJE deals with the concerns of the blind people. The sentence gives the impression that it takes up the concerns of blind people exclusively, which it doesn’t. It rather deals with the concerns of people across the spectrum of disability. Now I would come to the main point. As far as the food and its quality in NIVH goes, again wrong information is being spreaded. One could eat rice in desirable quantity with four chapattis in lunch as well as in dinner. However, doctors suggest that eating less in lunch is good for health. Admittedly yes, quality food is a big concern there just like in many other institutions of the nation. As far as free roaming/meeting of both boys and girls in and outside the campus goes, it cannot be as smooth as it is here in Delhi. It is important to understand that NIVH premises does have many big and small organizations functioning within it. School up to 12th standard is one of the main part of the institution. And more than 300 boys and girls of teen age are studying there. Is it desirable to let them go anywhere any time? Certainly not. Also there is a training center that functions to educate/train adult blinds in NIVH premises. Many of the trainees are accidently blind and therefore are not habitual of moving with walking stick or other assistive devices. Some of them come from far remote. Freeing them to move anywhere may be problematic as they may collide with rushing vehicles on the road and may get into further problems. NIVH premises is surrounded by two of the busiest roads of Dehradun. They are Rajpur road and the newly constructed Nespila road. Commercial as well as private vehicles keep on rushing day and night there as both the roads connect Doon valley to Mansoori. These are some of the primary reason why people are not permited to move anywhere 24 hours. As per serfing internet goes, NIVH dehradun is having big and highly modernized computer labs for school students as well as trainees. Helen Keller Bhavan is an administrative building. And the vi-fi facility has been provided to the bodies associated with administration only. Sharing its password and id with students is not possible. Yes they may think of extending vi-fi facility over the campus. But again the same issue of sharing it with small kids would again come.
I would urge you to pl visit school building as well. I did not find any reflection on school building as yet. Cheers.
