Thanks to LVPEI's Rehabilitation Centre, I was able to pursue my higher education. Being blind, I am aware of the limitations of Braille. But when I first walked into LVPEI ten years back, I was given selfless support for my education. I would give any textbook or reference book and the volunteers here would record it for me. With these, I could do my own research. I won a gold medal in my LLB and went on to do LLM with honors [LLB and LLM denote bachelor's and master's degrees in law, respectively]. LVPEI has had a great hand in settling me.

Our single-minded determination was to create an institute that will play a leadership role in the combat against global blindness. The institute would also have an impact on the local community directly by providing eye care services, and indirectly by the training of eye care personnel.
