News-

India’s blind cricket team battle odds ahead of T20 WC.

In the quiet bylanes of the national capital’s Lodhi Estate, at the Delhi
Tamil Education Association’s (DTEA) senior secondary school’s ground, an
enthusiastic and confident bunch of Indian cricketers have been busy giving
finishing touches to their preparation for the challenging World Cup T20
tournament.

Don’t get confused! The International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Indian
Cricket Board (BCCI) have no plans to have back-to-back T20 World Cups
after the immense success of the tournament the previous year. And, to
further clarify things, the Indian team is well and truly in Kanpur to take
on the visiting English side in the first of the three-match T20I series.
This passionate and lively bunch of cricketers are part of India’s
17-member Blind Cricket squad, readying itself for the second edition of
the World Cup T20 for Blind, which will kick-start in Delhi on January
29 with the inauguration ceremony. The league matches will begin the
following day with the defending champions India locking horns with
Bangladesh in their tournament opener at the capital’s IIT Ground.

Unsung heroes on Padma Shri honours list too

Nonogenarian Bhakti Yadav, popularly known as “Doctor Dadi” from Indore,
and captain of Indian cricket team of the blind Shekhar Naik are among the
unsung heroes named for Padma Shri. The focus this year, according to the
officials in the Home Ministry, was recognising talent of unknown and
unsung heroes of the country.

Yadav, 91, is the first woman from Indore to hold an MBBS degree. She has
been treating patients free of cost for the past 68 years and has helped
deliver thousands of babies.

Naik, 30, had led the country’s cricket team of blind to victory in the
first T20 World Cup in 2012 and ODI World Cup in 2014. From a poor
background, he faced extreme hardship, losing his parents at the age of 12.

National Anthem norms for disabled

New Delhi: Differently-abled people, who are unable to stand, will have to
display “maximum attentiveness” while persons with hearing disabilities and
those visually challenged will have to stand up when the national anthem is
played at cinema halls or at a public function. These are part of the
guidelines issued by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The
only category for which there is some relaxation is people with
intellectual disabilities. Source:
