For the boys we gave four assignments i.e. raise small funds from friends & relatives to purchase Braille paper, go to the paper shop at Sealdah & buy to understand the difficulty a Blind student has to face to buy paper independently, to take an interview of Mr Dilip Loyalka the first Blind Chartered Accountant (1983) in India, an LLB & an Income Tax Practitioner managing his CA firm J Loyalka & Co & computer editing of digital audio books for Blind students. They have completed their assignments and video-recording was done of the entire task. Due to technical problem it was not possible to upload the material here.
For the girls as you will see from the photos below they were given an orientation about the digital audio book recording through a Voice Recorder by our Section in-charge Mrs Chandralekha Sinha. Next they were shown by SVH front office staff Sangeeta Hazra,the technique of editing raw data recorded through the software Soundforge.They were then given clips of recordings to complete editing at home & submit.
