Helping Hand is the group dedicated to help individuals who are visually impaired or specially challenged. We want to make the college environment more accessible to people living with disabilities.
The teacher’s Physics department underwent an online training program in collaboration with XRCVC, Mumbai for a whole day which was aimed at sensitizing the faculty and at the same time how to deal with visually challenged student so that they can fill at ease while doing Physics practical's and theory in general. The trainers from XRCVC, emphasized the importance of the way teachers interact with a visually challenged student. It opened up eyes of the faculty who decided to do their best in the interest of such students.
An online content creation training for visually challenged was organized in collaboration with XRCVC, Mumbai on 24th September 2021 in which students of our college volunteered them selves.
