‘Chalokisika Sahara Baney’, an event organized by the Pimpri Chinchwad Police Commissionerate was held to mark the World White Cane Safety Day. It highlighted the importance of co-operating with the blind and visually impaired people.
The event organized by Prerana Association for the Blind at the Commissionerate of Pimpri Chinchwad Police saw the participation of Commissioner Krishna Prakash. To highlight the importance of the event, the commissioner tied himself a black ribbon on his eyes and made an entry in the program along with the blind and visually impaired attendees.
Spreading the message on co-operating and involving the blind and visually impaired people, Krishna Prakash said, “There is a bigger need to co-operate with these people than giving sympathy. One can be successful in their paths if they have the ability to think and stand with themselves. They need to be motivated to do extraordinary because sympathy won’t work. Try to pierce the darkness to see the light. Dream big and chase them even if the darkness in your life tries to demotivate you.”
Satish Navale, one of the blind teachers and the coaches, interacted with the commissioner through a video conference and shared the information of job opportunities for blind people.
