Indian Blind School - NGO in India working for blind deaf and dumb students
Society for Development of the Blind ( Indian Blind School)
Human body is very important and invaluable in one's life. Eyes are the most precious amongst the different organ. Absence of eyes, these people face many difficulties in their whole life. Imagine the life one has to live without seeing the beauty of rising sun, deprivedof enjoyment of observing the beauty of blooming flowers and even unable to see the face of his mother. Here one can truly realize Rajasthan proverb "The wearer knows where the shoe pinches." It is well said that there can not be any kith and kin of a blind person,they want his intellectual eyes developed otherwise in absence of it they have to be fully dependent for every routine work upon others. No one can provide eyes to the blind but proper training can make them self-reliant and self- dependent. Realizing the painful sufferings of the blind this Sansthan (Society) was started, with 2 children on 15th August 1977 in Suncity, Jodhpur. It has its own constitution and also anyone giving help to this society will enjoy exemption from income tax under 80-G.
