Dear all NAB Delhi appreciates concerns related to safety of students studying in institutions. Be rest assured that we are more concerned about safety of our students than anyone else in this world. Do notice this fact that the incident was not reported by any student but was caught by the vigilant staff of the institution itself. This has happened due to various measures put in place by NAB Delhi for this purpose. Strong evidence against this crime too is a result of several measures taken by the institution in past many years. Many advised us that we should hush this matter and not file FIR against the person. However. Taking bold step of going to the police and reporting about this and not trying to hide such incident is testimony about our commitment to fight against this menace.
Right now law is taking its due course. All investigations, introspections after a shocking incident like this and deriving learnings from this are all happening. Over all, we have seen solidarity from all sides and assistance is offered to us so that we are not left alone in taking this fight to its conclusion. I feel and so do many of the supporters that this is time to stand in solidarity and make sure it should be the criminals who should feel scared and not the ones who take the courageous step of bringing such matters to light. Be rest assured that as per its standing of past 40 years, Nab Delhi will uphold its values and continue to bring about revolutionary changes for the betterment of persons with blindness. We are determined to emerge stronger from this adversity too. Do not forget that often child abuse happens by most trusted members of family or friends and this is what has happened to us too. This kind of betrayal has shocked us and pained us to no end. I sincerely hope that we will get support from the community to fight against child abusers and not start getting victimized by the community itself. Our responses to these discussions will be slow to come by as we are busy in investigations, providing adequate support and counseling of students after coming into light of such incident, following up with the police case and dealing with mainstream media in addition to the regular work of the institution.

They afterall seek money in the name of blind people's welfare.The recent incedent which surfaced at National Association for the blind Delhi is just a tip of the iceberg. Over the last two years the sexual assaults faced by children and female residents have been widely reported in the media. I remember, the female students at NAB Bangalore complaint harassment against the NAB Bangalore officials, and the Karnataka CCPD took some action after being pressured by the civil society. The Panch Koyaan school in Delhi which is also known as 'andh Maha vidyalay' was also in the news recently where scenior students continued abusing junior students sexually for years and the administration of the school took no action. I also remember couple of years back, A reporter working with Manorma magazine has brought forth the issue of sexual assaults faced by women residents at Sant Nagar hostel by the donors and the administration didn't barred donors from visiting hostels. notwithstanding the unreported harassments which go unnoticed in hostels where blind children/female students reside, The above cited case studies paint a very scary portrayal of insecure atmosphere which impede the overall development of blind children. Donation is the key to sustaining these institutions but putting at stake the psychological and physical well-being of young students raises several burning questions about day-to-day functioning of such institutions.
