to join one of the leading Institutions of the
country. I studied with the help of DAISY talking books to prepare for my
JNU
entrance exam in International Relations. I was able to successfully get
through the written exam for my master's degree. Since then I have been
using
DAISY books regularly for my master's degree studies. For a research scholar
this technology has proved to be major boon. It enables one to study
according
to his/her individual requirements and time. Apart from everything else this
much independence boosts self-confidence, which is indeed the first step to
achieve any goal in the world.

Now I am able to read novels whenever I feel like doing so. The entire Harry
Potter series, consisting of seven volumes, I finished reading in only 18
days,
thanks to DAISY books. I just hope every person who needs these books can
access them so that no one remains in the darkness of unawareness, when
there
are numerous sources available to spread the light of knowledge.
I have cherished a dream of associating with a library where all the books
are available in an accessible format for persons with a print disability.
In India, there is a lack of books in braille for college level studies.
College students require many books and organisations have found it very
costly
and time consuming to convert them into braille. Since the introduction of
DAISY in India, several organisations have taken up the task of converting
books
for higher education into DAISY DTBs. This has helped many students pursue
and excel in different courses. Ms. Savita's story is just one example.
