How can you
In the last year, due to corona and lockdown, educational institutions all across the globe have suffered immensely. Efforts to teach children through computer, internet, mobile and online mediums are being made. The transition has equipped us with tools and skills which enable us to both learn and teach remotely. However, transitioning to a more e-infrastructure has also made the digital divide between the society even more evident and significant. Now, IT youth will have to gear up to create an ecosystem to reach and implement the development of technology in the world in small institutions like Drishti. Their cooperation will be more valuable than any financial support as it will help empower the visually disabled children to work at their full potential.

Social service in urban areas has become easier with the support of benefactors like Bill Gates, Narayan Murthy, Azim Premji etc. Under the CSR law in India, all companies are required to spend a certain part of their profit for social development. There has been a special blessing from people like Nanaji Deshmukh in the establishment of Drishti. To ensure that the investment being made by both the private and the government sector reaches remote areas like Chitrakoot and small but hard working institutions like Drishti, both NRI and Indians citizens need to be awakened.

The Chitrakoot region has been the heartland of India's cultural consciousness since the Tretha Yuga. With the massive development of roads and infrastructure in the Bundelkhand region, Chitrakoot has now become a part of international tourism, being the major stopover of Ramvangam. In the world's history, there have been many wars and struggles for power. However, in the holy land of Chitrakoot, a loving competition existed between the 2 brothers: Ram and Bharat for the reunification of power. Pilgrims and tourists coming to Chitrakoot from both within India and abroad have the feeling of Ramatva in their heart. If the success story of institutions like Drishti reach remote areas India and abroad through these tourists, then along with cultural development of Chitrakoot, the welfare of the visually impaired will also be paved.

Drishti's establishment date is coincidentally on the same auspicious day of our former president Dr Abdul Kalam's birthday. Our children also had the privilege of meeting him and listening to his holy words. Equipped with the capital of humility and hard work, Dr Kalam had dreamed of making India strong and prosperous by 2020 through technology and self-reliance. For this, the vision of the empowerment of the under-privileged through education and employment will have to be made countrywide successful. To do this the youth will have to take initiative and be proactive. The youth needs to remember that they solely have the responsibility for the country's future.

"Blind needs help, not mercy". This basic mantra needs to be adopted in our society alongside social service and national development. No institution or organization depending solely on government help can travel a long way. However, if these institutions or missions get proper support, YOUR support, then the picture of the deprived class can change due to the mantra of self-reliance. Drishti is the perfect example of it. Hence we all need to join our hands together and work towards a better India.
