Meera Badve is the founder of Niwant Andh Mukta Vikasalay - a school dedicated to the multi faceted development of the visually challenged children. This book explores the unique school, the inspiration behind it foundation and how children work in this out-of-the-world environment.
The focus of Niwant is on the development of the MIND; BODY & SOUL of those visually challenged students who want to pursue higher studies after passing grade 10th. Such students are taught all the core subjects required. In addition they are taught skills that will enable them to integrate easily into 'normal' society.
The concept here is to ensure all round development so that the students do not consider themselves 'abnormal'.
With more than 1000 students associated, 15 Braille libraries, a software firm (TechVision), a chocolate making unit (Choco Niwant), tons of other activities and the support of many well-wishers, Niwant Andh Mukta Vikasalaya aims to make the world more beautiful a place to live in!
