1. Audio description of films for the visually impaired initiative is driven
by Saksham and 26 films have been done till date.
Films are an integral part of our culture and society. Cinema gives us
the opportunity to socialize with friends, family, and others to
collectively laugh, applaud, and share similar emotions. Films are an
important source of both entertainment and information. They are an
effective medium of disseminating information on various subjects like
history, mythology, politics, science, technology, sports, and so on.
Persons with visual impairment often have to rely on their sighted
companions to explain the less wordy sections of the film so that they
don’t miss out on critical details.
As part of it “Hichki”, hindi movie will be screened at Mitra Jyothi

Madanlal Khandelwal Braille Essay Competition. This competition was
organized in different languages last year, namely, Hindi, English,
Marathi and Tamil. But it has been noticed that we are not received
enough entries from the schools/participants.  As a result, justice is
not done to such a great personality. Therefore, the national
Executive Council of the Confederation, in the meeting  held last
year, decided the following:
The age limit for the junior group would be reduced from 25 to 18
years of age, so that school-level students are not challenged by
college students, and they can participate with open mind and heart.
The essay submitted should be original in nature, and it should not be
copied from website or any other source.  The essayist should use
either Braille slate or Braille typewriter to write his/her essay. For
junior group, the first prize will consist of Rs. 8,000, second 5,000
and the third prize will consist of Rs. 3,000. For the senior group,
the sum of Rs. 10,000, 7,000 and 4,000 will be awarded to the first,
second and third winners respectively.  The topics of the essay for
the junior group will be ‘Inclusive education for visually impaired
children in India—prospects and challenges.’ while the topics for the
senior group shall be ‘Rights of persons with disabilities Act,
2016—how far does it fulfill your expectations’.

Benefits elude people with disabilities
JAGATSINGHPUR: Hundreds of persons with disabilities (PwDs) are
deprived of benefits of Government schemes in the district as they do
not possess identify certificates. Due to vacancy of specialists in
the District Disability Board which issues certificates, PwDs are
being forced to visit SCB Medical College and Hospital for the
purpose. The board comprising specialists like mental, orthopaedics,
ENT, eye, medicine and neurology was formed to conduct tests for
issuing certificates to visually-impaired persons or those having
mental problems, cerebral palsy or autism. Source:

These are among key recommendations made by a group of representatives

A powerful song about inner vision, or antardrishti, composed by a
blind musician, will be among the pieces performed on Monday by an
orchestra made up entirely of visually challenged artistes.
The eight musicians will perform on the tabla, sitar, flute, violin
and piano, at the Royal Opera House in Girgaum. They are all part of
the UK’s first all-blind orchestra, Inner Vision, and will be
performing in Mumbai for the first time, brought here in collaboration
with the British Council and Arts Council of England. The orchestra
will be led by multi-instrumentalist and sitar maestro Baluji
Shrivastav, who was born in Uttar Pradesh and now lives in London.
Antardrishti is his composition, inspired by a chapter of the Bhagavad
Gita.
“Growing up, my father often read the Gita to me. Sanskrit fascinated
me. So I decided to produce a piece inspired by one of the shlokas,”
says Shrivastav, an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
“The shlokas I’m drawing on talk about the inner vision that Arjun was
given by Lord Krishna to see beyond the obvious.”
Inner Vision has previously performed in Kolkata, Goa and Delhi, and in the UK.
“It’s tough for blind musicians; we have to look out for each other,”
Shrivastav says. That’s exactly what he and his wife Linda Shanson
have been doing, through their Baluji Music Foundation.
Among those they have helped is Raju Maurya, a vocalist and tabla
player based in Delhi who has performed in the UK through the
foundation. “Music is a strong emotion that we all share irrespective
of our disability. I’m grateful for the support from Baluji,” Maurya
says. Source: https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/uk-s-first-all-blind-orchestra-set-to-perform-in-mumbai/story-RslEE3eIoOjAzE6iVkaSiJ.html

Google celebrates renowned opthalmologist Govindappa Venkataswamy
The Google Doodle on Monday celebrated the centenary of renowned
opthalmologist Govindappa Venkataswamy, known as 'Dr V' among his
patients, who flocked to the Aravind Eye Hospital that he founded in
Madurai. Born on this day in 1918 in Vadamalapuram, Tamil Nadu,
Venkataswamy was permanently crippled by rheumatoid arthritis.
However, despite his own health issues, nothing could stop him from
what he wanted to be.
He attended a school in his village where students had to write on
sand which collected from the riverbank as there was no pencil and
paper. Later he went on to study Chemistry at the American College in
Madurai and earned a degree of M.D. from Stanley Medical College in
Madras in 1944. Right after completing his medical school Venkataswamy
went on to join the Indian Army Medical Corps. However, a severe case
of rheumatoid arthritis nearly crippled him and his career took a
setback. He was confined to bed for a year. When he returned to
academics, Venkataswamy studied for a degree in ophthalmology in 1951.

2. In a first, Indian-origin visually impaired man to get guide horse in UK.
An Indian-origin man based in north-west England, who suffers from a
degenerative eye condition, is set to become the first person in the
UK to get a guide horse to assist him with daily tasks once he loses
his vision completely. Mohammed Salim Patel, a journalist based in
Blackburn at Lancashire, suffers from a condition called Retinitis
Pigmentosa, due to which he is left with a very small amount of sight
in his right eye and will eventually loose all sight. The 24-year-old,
who suffers from a deep-seated fear of dogs since a scary childhood
encounter, could not rely on the more commonly used guide dogs for the
visually impaired and that is how the concept of a miniature guide
horse came to his attention. Source:

1. Visually impaired cricketers should get same status as Indian
cricketers, says John David, cricket coach of the blind Indian team.
Blind cricketers put in equal dedication, effort and hard work, like
the regular Indian cricketers. The Indian blind cricket team has so
far won the 50-over World Cup, two T20 World Cups, two Asia Cups and
four bilateral series. Currently, this Indian team is considered the
best in the world. What they need is a little support from their
country and the same status as Indian cricketers, says John David,
cricket coach of the blind Indian team.

2. Despite BCCI Apathy, India’s Blind Cricketers Continue to Solider On.
Sportsmen, over all ages and continents, have, in their own way,
fought varied challenges to attain the highest pinnacle, and though
their fields might be diverse, the hunger to be the best is all too
similar.
Some players participate in team games and have to co-join talents as
a whole. Some have to keep pushing ahead as a lone entity, and still
others have to ensure that their mental strength overpowers their
physical stamina. Under the searing sun or in an air-conditioned hall,
the vagaries of sport might differ but at the very core, the basics of
each sport remains similar.
However, rather unfortunately, the spectators often fail to view the
dedication of every athlete, instead just applauding the efforts of
the mightily successful. On occasions, even the successful are
overlooked for the popular - the ones who are built up from the very
beginning, with all eyes centred around their path.
Hence while Virat Kohli and Prithvi Shaw were being recognized for
their insane talent quite early on, Ajay Reddy and Anil Arya, though
cricketers just the same, were scripting their own tough route towards
recognition.

It’s wedding bells for nine visually impaired couples.
A Ghatkopar-based NGO helped nine visually impaired couples get
married on Sunday. The annual pre-Diwali initiative by the Omkar Andh
KEVK Society also saw the couples being helped with groceries and
basic kitchen necessities to start off their married life.
“We have been carrying out mass weddings for couples with visual
impairment for the past 10 years. The couples come from all over
Maharashtra,” said committee member Ashok Deorepatil, who managed the
event. He said some are love marriages while some are arranged. “We
get in touch with their family members and follow all due procedures
before fixing the match. We also take care of their stay in Mumbai,”
he said. The cost for one couple’s wedding comes to around Rs. 30,000.

Impairments are in mind: Blind cricketer.
Pampore, October 28
When he was six months old, this Pampore youth was hit by a mysterious
disease, leading to complete blindness.
With grit he has, however, not only become self-sufficient but also
the first-ever Kashmiri to make it to the Indian national cricket team
for blind.
While talking to The Tribune at his home amid the saffron fields in
Dussoo village of Pampore in Pulwama district, Irfan Ahmad Mir, 21,
was all smiles while he narrated his feat. “I have learnt that the
only impairment a man can have is in the mind. The other impairments
do not matter and should not hinder our growth,” Irfan told The

The Constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949, and came into force
on January 26, 1950. Constitution Day was first celebrated four years

Justice Suresh Kumar Kait gave the decision after candidates
approached the court seeking a stay on the results and re-examination
of the Hindi typing test. The court also directed the Centre and
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS), which conducted the test on
November 13, to submit their replies. The petitioner, a visually
impaired candidate, alleged that there should have been two types of
keyboards as per a notification by the authorities conducting the exam
but only one keyboard (InScript ) was available on November 13. As a
result, candidates who had practised on Remington CBI keyboards did
not give the exam. Source:

Scribe community to help visually challenged students
The Braille Resource Centre at Bangalore Central University (BCU) has
formed a scribe community– a set of sighted volunteers who would lend
a hand for the students to write their exams. Finding scribes, who
take down answers dictated by the visually challenged students during
exams, has been arduous for many students, who depend on friends and
NGOs for a volunteer. There are instances when students had
difficulties arranging a scribe even a day before their exams.
“They’re badly in need of scribes.
Malappa, a visually challenged student attached with the centre, said
scribes should spend at least three hours writing exams for the
students. “It’s not that we aren’t getting (the scribes). There’re a
few NGOs and volunteers (who act as scribes).  But we need more
people,” he said. “Though we fix their time (to write our exams) a
week in advance, they may not be available at the last minute. This
(scribe) community is totally dedicated (to write our exams). If one
finds it difficult to come,  there’ll be someone else. We’ll be

Samsung TV helps visually impaired with Voice Guide.
The simple things we do every day, such as watching TV, are often
taken for granted. But for those who are blind or visually impaired,
the act of navigating through TV menus and channels can, in fact, be
no small task.  Even upon reaching the desired channel, finding
something to watch that comes with audio description presents a whole
fresh set of impediments to readily enjoying entertainment.
But fortunately, things are changing so that visually impaired people
can enjoy their favourite entertainment in the comfort of their homes.
Some TV stations, such as Swiss Television (SRF), already offer
content with audio description for visually impaired and blind people.
Furthermore, Samsung Electronics is cooperating with the Swiss
Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (SBV) to showcase how
Smart TVs can be operated easily and autonomously by visually impaired
individuals. Source:

World Disabled Day: These visually challenged kids are learning to
click pictures with a regular camera
Learning photography has made these visually impaired children more
confident at an early age. Express Parenting met fashion photographer
Richa Maheshwari, who is helping these kids express their love for
photography, fuelled by the desire to be seen on social media. At the
National Association for the Blind (NAB), a young boy came up to me
and urged me to go through his social media page. A student of class
11 or 12, the boy eagerly scrolled down the page on his smartphone to
show quite a number of photographs of monuments, birthday parties and
those of friends and family. All the photos were clicked and uploaded
on social media by the boy himself, who is visually impaired. Further
into the conversation, the boy revealed that he composes songs, raps,
and runs his own YouTube page. Source:

Using mobile phones to educate visually-impaired students
For 50 visually-impaired government school students aged between 14
and 16 years in Chhattisgarh, it marked the beginning of new hopes and
a freedom from Braille. With the help of latest mobile technology,
these excited children were trained to study their textbooks, helping
them overcome their physical challenge in a way they did not think was
possible before this. Each of them got a phone which had preloaded
accessible textbooks, and they were taught to study these textbooks
using latest mobile applications.  Source:
