EDUCATION
(Integrated Education Programme)
It facilitates children to attend classes in regular schools & colleges.
These students are coached by special teachers, who help them with Braille lessons,
tactile maps, and diagrams.
Low vision students are provided with enlarged prints & magnifying glasses.
We follow the integrated pattern of Education(normal schools and study with sighted children)
which is followed elsewhere in India and most parts of the world. The purpose behind this system
is that the student attends classes in the normal school.
This situation enables them to be part of the student society and also helps the normal students
to understand the disability of Visually Impaired persons. Thus the blind feels that he/she is part
of the society and does not feel segregated from the sighted world.
We also provide free boarding facilities to the students.
Vocational Training:
We conduct camps for the Adult Blind and train them in different trades like chair caning, candle making,

We also make arrangements to send the Visually Impaired persons for professional training like Telephone
