Salim Attar who chose MCVC is a chocolatier According to Meera Badve, founder of the NGO and the students’ mentor, “Such results are due to technology which has made Braille literature easily available to the students. The MP3 players which enable the reading out of lessons to the students also helped. These students have been coming to Niwant in the evenings for the last three years now, giving us a chance to mould them, ” she said.
The challenges before Badve’s organisation were not the students’ handicap, but that they came from economically weak backgrounds. “However, the progress they made, not just academically, but in picking up social skills,” she said.
Salim Attar and Nishant Mane who opted for the bakery-confectionery course were in for special praise. Badve said that their success had paved the way for four more students to take up the stream in standard XII. “The MCVC stream teaches them a skill, and makes them employable.”
