An acid attack took away his sight, but not his vision for change.
In this episode of Eyeway Rubaru, we speak with Chandrashekhar Shukla, who turned personal tragedy into a mission to educate and empower blind children.

Starting a school in a rural area with limited resources, he created a space where children with visual impairments can learn, grow, and dream. From mobilising communities to supporting students beyond academics, his journey is a powerful reminder of resilience, purpose, and the impact of one determined individual.

A deaf and blind student scoring 98.75% in her Class 12 board exams is what accountability in education looks like. Her name is Sara Moin.

George Abraham, CEO of SCORE Foundation, congratulates Sara, her family, and her educators for this outstanding achievement and for ensuring Sara had the right support at every stage of her education.

Sara now wants to pursue higher education at a central university through CUET. Score Foundation requests the National Testing Agency to provide her with accessible exam tools including an NVDA screen reader, a refreshable Braille Orbit device, and questions in accessible digital format so that Sara can write her exam and continue the journey she has so brilliantly earned.
