away this morning.
A Jamshedpur-based visually challenged youth is busy “opening the
eyes” of the people of Pune so that those who are disabled like him
can get a better life.
Meet 23-year-old Abdul Razique Khan, a resident of Dhatkidih,
Jamshedpur, whose efforts to make a difference in the lives of
visually and physically challenged people and also the underprivileged
in Pune, where he is pursuing MBA, have been greatly appreciated by
one and all.
Abdul’s own story is one of arduous struggle — being a victim of
Marfan syndrome, he completely lost his eyesight in 2003 despite
prolonged treatment and several surgeries. But that did not stop him
from continuing a normal life as he went on to complete Plus Two from
DBMS English School (2007) and then pursued BBA from Symbiosis Centre
for Management Studies (2011) followed by MBA from Symbiosis Institute
of Business Management — both in Pune.
Along with studies, he also carries out social projects for the needy
and disabled. In fact, it was under his leadership that a funding
programme for underprivileged children was introduced during his stint
at Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies.
“I was made the head of the institute’s social club, Initiate, in
2010. I organised fund raising programmes for providing education to
underprivileged kids for two years. After I passed out last year, the
juniors took up the project,” said Abdul, who has come to his hometown
for a two-month summer internship with Tata Sons as part of his MBA
curriculum.
The youth’s stint at Tata Motors, where he was posted, ended on
Wednesday. He will go back to Pune on June 19.
The 23-year-old’s social work did not end once he left Symbiosis
Centre for Management Studies. In fact, he is credited with initiating
a campaign in Pune for providing access to visually challenged
children in educational and other prominent institutions.
“The campaign called Open Your Eyes was appreciated not only by those
in Symbiosis, but also by the people of Pune. As part of it, we
conducted accessibility study for the disabled at government and
public educational institutions and urged the authorities to admit the
differently abled under the Persons With Disability Act,” said Abdul.
He also started a forum, where visually challenged achievers can
interact with the parents of others of their ilk. “The idea is to get
inspiration and encouragement from those who have surmounted all odds
to succeed in life,” said Abdul, who took help of writers to appear
for examinations and uses screen reading software on his laptop.
He has also picked up the basics of braille at National Association of
Blind, Jamshedpur.
Currently, Abdul is working on a project for Mumbai-based organisation
Retina India, which aims at empowering the visually challenged through
a social platform. “I cannot divulge much about the project, but it
will certainly make life easy for people like me, irrespective of
where they reside across the country,” he said.

Vishal and I had an opportunity to meet him and his mom when they visited
NAB Bangalore for some training. We'll always remember and cherish that
day.
I think he was using HP Compaq Presario V3500, with Nokia 6600 for GPRS
connectivity.

I met Abdul for the first time when he was a shy teenager at NAB
Jamshedpur.
The next time I heard from him was when he was giving the Symbiosis
entrance exams from Bhubhaneshwar and needed help with the writer
guidelines.
After getting into a BBA programme Abdul wanted to make his teachers
understand accessibility.
Then it was the enthusiastic Abdul inspiring his college mates and
making a great presentation at the Accessindia Convention in Ahmedabad
2008.
In 2011 I saw him as a courteous host at his hotel in Jamshedpur and a
great volunteer amd motivator to the kids at NAB Jamshedpur.
Last month I heard from Atul Sahay about his placement with Wipro and
was so proud to see the transformation.
Abdul was always shy, soft spoken, enthusiastic, helpful and had a
yearning to do something for his visually challenged community.
I can at this point only bow my head in grief and tears.
We did lose someone who mattered.
