Sri Rakum School for the Blind is a school for the visually impaired in the city of Bangalore, India. It offers free education to blind students from kindergarten to post-graduation. The training imparted includes reading and writing through Braille and mobility training for totally blind children. Pre-school aged students with the single disability of blindness are trained early on to prepare them for their eventual completion of school, college and vocational education.[1]
Founder
The school was founded by Acharya Sri Rakum in June 1998. He left behind a career in martial arts in Japan and India, to pursue what he calls the "creative use of his power." He is currently the principal of this school. The realisation that children who were born blind were shunned and denied opportunities to grow, inspired him to start the school. Children come from villages and tribal belts and come from very poor families. The school is a non-governmental organization running entirely on support by patrons and donations by the general public and corporate organizations.
