Hyderabad: PonugotiChokka Rao, applying to most members of a category secretarial assistant, Development and Welfare Association of the Blind, Telangana and Secretary, All India Confederation of the Blind, Hyderabad,on Friday, said he was to be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object through word reports that a 12 year-old visually impaired male child Goutham Laxmi Srikar, studying in Devnar School for the Blind, Mayuri Marg, Begumpet, fell from 5thfloor on Thursday.
In a pressnote released here, Chokka Rao said, “This is a very unfortunate incident for a blind student to die in such a tragic situation. We would like to highlight the issue relating to running Blind School by NGOs in the city when there are already two blind schools in Hyderabad. The Government Blind Schools in Hyderabad have all the infrastructure with trained teachers and a low student strength. Therefore, there is no reason for encouraging a private NGO to run Blind School with no adequate infrastructure and trained staff. Most of NGOs running Blind School are found to be illegal with dubious history. Already there is steady decline in children born with partial or complete blindness and therefore the government should keep an eye on private organisations running blind schools with the only motive of making money.”
“We request the Central and State Governments to immediately investigate the tragic death of blind student in the private school to find out the truth and to avoid such incidents happening in future. We also demand the Governments to extend financial help of Rs one crore to the parents of the Blind student Goutham Laxmi Srikar. We held a condolence meeting in our Blind School in Nalgonda by observing two-minute silence and our Blind students and staff paid respects to the fellow blind student, who died in tragic circumstances yesterday,” the discharge said.
“We call for the Governments to budge all the unsighted students studying in personal unsighted educational institution in Hyderabad to the Government Blind Schools in Hyderabad where the Schools have got all the basic features of a system and trained personnel with a smaller telephone number of students. This testament guarantee state of being certain that adverse effects will not be caused of the unsighted students and save up them from explicit deterioration in their wellbeing. We have got been running a personal Blind School in Nalgonda for the earlier than the present time 30 years as there was no government unsighted educational institution in that expanse.
