BNV promises funds for Samarthanam Trust

Presiding over a prize giving ceremony, BN Vijaykumar, Jayanagar MLA said the visually impaired people by their feats had proved that they were no less than people with no disabilities. This was because organizations like Samarthanam had instilled in these young people a belief that their disability need not be a hindrance to their dreams, he said, lauding the Trust's Mahantesh, himself a visually impaired. Mahantesh, a post-graduate and computer literate, is a visiting professor at the Bangalore University.
