Devnar School for the Blind in Begumpet in Hyderabad has been a beacon of hope for the visually challenged for almost two and a half decades. Started by ophthalmologist Saibaba Goud, the school has been offering free education for the visually challenged, giving them the much-needed confidence to become productive and face the outside world. The school, which offers classes from lower kindergarten to 12th standard in English medium, is unique as admissions are open throughout the year. Goud recalled his journey of starting the school nearly 25 years ago. As an eye doctor he would tell parents that blindness is incurable and sight cannot be restored. This would leave parents devastated. A dark future would stare at parents of the child. This went on for a few years. Then he realised that he needed to do something to provide security for visually challenged children.
