Jammu, Feb 1: As an outreach to the visually impaired children, and a step forward in the direction of inclusivity and integration, Dr. Kunwarani Ritu Singh, Co-Founder Maharaja Hari Singh Foundation launched the project Roshni at DPS Jammu today, thereby kickstarting the digital literacy program for the visually impaired children. This was done in collaboration with JIGER Foundation Chairperson- Dr. Sandhya Dhar and her team in order to enhance the educational standards of the visually impaired children of Jammu and to bring the light of digital literacy in their lives. The outreach program has been aptly named as “Roshni” which symbolises knowledge.
DPS Jammu will provide the necessary support and infrastructure to successfully implement the program in the form of the State of Art Computer Lab and transport facility for the visually impaired under the aegis of Prayas which is the social outreach program of the school aimed at bridging the gaps in the society by helping the underprivileged.
The technical launch on the Computer was done by Sh. Surinder Raina, Manager, J&K Grameen Bank and member JIGER Foundation by installing the screen reading software on the computer systems which will help the visually impaired to effectively use the computer systems easily in future.
The program started with the Ganesh Stotra before the ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by a very motivating talk delivered by Dr. Kuwarani Ritu Singh. She said that the outreach program ‘Roshni’ aims to impart training to the visually impaired children to help them become self-dependent and to enhance their employability skills for their better future.
Sandhya Dhar also shared her life’s journey which was very inspiring for all present. The Team Roshni of DPS Jammu presented a song to welcome the guests present.
Also present on the occasion were Ms.Vishakha Bhan , Coordinator JIGER, Mr. Akash Dhar, , Mr. Arun Kumar, and Mr. Arjun- members from the JIGER Foundation, and Principal and staff members of DPS Jammu.
A commendable act of empathy, kindness, and foresightedness by Dr. Kunwarani Ritu Singh Ji has thus opened doors of promising future for the visually impaired children to lead a better life.
