[Music] [Music] When the doctor told our parents that I'm blind, first of all, they did not believe that I'm blind. My mother left. [Music] Me. If there were not this school, the students would wither away. They live their life without dignity because baking is the only easy way of earning money. When I was admitted to this school, my condition was very bad. It was an unknown place to me. My friends extend their helpful hands to us. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

Most of the visually impaired children come from such families where they are very, very neglected. They want love, affection, and sympathy from [Music] us. I get so much pleasure in this school. I'm very much fond of singing, and I always play on the [Music] [Applause] harmonium. Any free time, our friends are very much fond of playing cricket. The bat and the stumps are made of iron. When it hits the iron stumps, it makes sounds and the ball runs with sound. Sometimes our teachers watch from far away, and they're telling, "Yes, this is good," and "You have, um, you have scored six runs." That means, you know, uh, he or she is encouraging. [Applause] [Music]

The students of this school are very good in sports also. For the first time, they represented India in the World Olympic for the VIS Empire. [Music] To teach the visually impaired children is not an easier task. We have to have some sort of dedication and devotion. They want to know anything and everything, we try to provide the idea through sense of [Music] touch.

Majority of our students after getting education will be established as the teachers for the normal students. As they are neglected, we try to provide them love and affection. At the same time, we provide training programs to make them contributing to their family, contributing to the society also. At the same time, we provide them safe shelter, which is very, very important, as blind girls are very, very neglected in their society. They have to face a lot of [Music] hurdles.

I have many things to learn. I have many things to do. I have to overcome many places, many difficult things. I have to go forward to bring my [Music] success. All the students are brilliant. After studying, they are employed and are now well established. They are not a burden at all, but they are shouldering the burden of their family. [Music] [Music]
