SVH News!

Murshed Alam, a visually impaired graduate student currently enrolled at Ramakrishna Mission Vidyamandira, Belur Math, Howrah, WB for his BEd course and a former student of Ramakrishna Mission Ashram Residential College, Narendrapur, WB, has phoned to share the joy of his clearing NET exam and obtaining JRF. It is all the more special because none of his sighted peers who are supposed to be of a high merit, could clear the same. Murshed feels indebted to the Society for the Visually Handicapped, Kolkata for the education support extended by the volunteers of SVH to him on a regular basis.
