Ahmedabad is well connected by international airlines from various world cities. Among the historical sites in Ahmedabad is the Sabarmati Ashram, situated on the banks of river Sabarmati. The Ashram was home to Mahatma Gandhi from 1917 to 1930 and served as one of the main centres of the Indian freedom struggle. It was from here on March 12, 1930 that Gandhiji launched the famous Dandi March, the Salt Satyagraha which ultimately resulted in freedom.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2024 World Conference. The conference offers the opportunity to connect with world leaders, researchers, professionals, and parents/caregivers, and to share insights into current research and practice in the field of education for persons with blindness, low vision, deafblindness, and multiple disability.
Please share this invitation with your networks.
Sincerely,
Dr Frances Gentle
President, International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment
