UPSC and other Exams Coaching for Poor Visually Challanged Aspirants

Good vision is a precious gift to mankind but unfortunately loss of vision or blindness in people makes their world complicated. Blindness may result from a disease, injury or other conditions that limit vision and because of which Blind people confront a number of challenges every day. It is believed that when an individual is visually impaired his learning, social interaction, locomotion, general operation and adjustment are bound to be adversely affected.
They face numerous challenges especially with their environment usually they have a difficult time in navigating outside the spaces that they have to accustom to lead daily life. In fact, physical movement is one of the biggest challenges for blind people. Though technical advancement brought things easier for blind people still they find tough to access it.
Secondly access to education, finding job, settling in life, settling their families are the major hurdle for visually impaired and moreover the social challenges which they face make them feel less confident. Often people think that visually impaired cannot make things easy and they depend on someone for their needs. These so called preconceived ideas make them think that they are helpless and powerless.
To break this stigma and misconceptions around them Kanavugal Lifeline Foundation was started by veteran social worker, also a visually impaired Mr. Saravanan, Ph.D research scholar in 2015 with a aim to work for the overall growth & development of the people with Visual, Hearing & Speech Impairment and to make them stand tall as an independent individual.
