• In the past also, we have witnessed the people getting selected for jobs based on our training and this will definitely help them.

Direct Beneficiaries (target group)

• Students are of the age group 16 – 35 visually impaired.
• Basically blind people from all districts of Karnataka. As we improve, we plan to extend our services to students from other states of India.
• Targeted beneficiaries are mostly from the socially, economically, educationally backward persons. They are unable to get similar training elsewhere because of their special difficulties.

Expected beneficiaries will be around 100 students per year.

• Number of students joined on the year visually impaired persons will be benefited by the IT Skills training.
• They will get jobs
• Become economically independent
• Become more confident and contribute to growth of the society & nation.
• Personally also they will be able to get more skills through web once they get IT skills as each and everything is available on the web to enhance one’s career.

Search for jobs on themselves

• Computers/Peripherals can be used for a number of years later also.

Implementation process

• Complete the construction of the Hostel come training centre building in one year and equip it with furniture and bed bunkers.
• Admission process – accepting 100 of the application forms who are blind.
• Recruiting teachers and required staff
• Supply necessary braille books through the government scheme

• Organize awareness camps on blind computer education and its importance and helping the blind to see the light of tomorrow.

Current stage of this project:

The site is just plain land where we would like to construct our training centre (including braille printing press, braille library and computer training classes) and a hostel building and provide many more services for the blind students.

So We are requesting capital funding from donor for the construction of building for blind students and the number of direct beneficiaries are around 100 students every year and indirect beneficiaries are around 10000 students from all over Karnataka.
