The support given by RCB through Dr. Batra’s Foundation will facilitate the institution in numerous ways including the ability to print Braille material for the students as well as the library and Resource Center members, in a more efficient manner. Another area that will benefit from RCB’s patronage is ‘JAWS’, which provides Computer education via special software designed for the visually impaired, by reading aloud all text that is on the PC screen. Over 600 students have gained training in this center. Now, even more students will get to use computers when required.

After the talk, SCB treated the children to McDonalds Happy Meals and gave them generous Christmas gifts. The brilliant information-cumentertainment event was overseen by Rtn.
