From Isolation to Participation...

Dharmistha lost her vision at age 14, while studying in the 9th standard. She thought that she could not continue studying and dropped out of school. She was completely disheartened, grew isolated, and was unwilling to participate in any activity. .

After five years Dharmistha and her parents came to our institute where they saw blind students studying with special equipments. Dharmistha became inspired and joined. She learned to read and write Braille, used the library extensively, and participated in many extracurricular activities. We also gave her home management training to make her self-sufficient around the house. .

Dharmistha’s activities at the Andhjan Kalyan institute prepared her well for a normal life. She passed the 12th standard with first class marks and can now take of herself. She is married to a music teacher and enjoys full inclusion in society.
