Equal opportunities mean nothing when the system breaks your dreams on exam day.

Months of preparation. Years of perseverance. All shattered in a single day—not by the difficulty of the exam, but by an unqualified scribe.

Manish Yadav, a visually impaired counselor at Score Foundation, is raising an urgent issue that happened recently: Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) gave the visually impaired students unqualified scribes.

Many students called us in distress. After working so hard to reach exam day, their performance suffered—not because they weren't prepared, but because they didn't receive the support they needed.

Equal opportunity isn't just policy on paper—it's dignity on exam day.

Have you or someone you know recently faced similar challenges with scribe allocation in KVS or other competitive exams? Share your experience with us.

Dr. Nikhil Jain recalls the initial doubts—How will a blind teacher connect with students?

Without visual cues, building classroom rapport was challenging at first. But through dialogue, engagement, and confidence, those assumptions soon gave way to trust and connection.

In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, Nikhil shares how he navigated skepticism, reshaped classroom dynamics, and proved that effective teaching goes far beyond sight.

Seeing how deeply rooted attitudinal barriers were in the education system, he chose to act—collectively and strategically.

In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, Nikhil Jain shares how repeated denials in teaching jobs led to the formation of Sambhavana—and to a month-long protest at Delhi University demanding implementation of the 3% reservation for persons with disabilities.

This is a story of courage, solidarity, and turning exclusion into a movement.
