For the past nine years, the Tamil Nadu Volleyball Association for the Visually Challenged (TNVBAVC) has been dedicated to empowering visually challenged individuals. Through organising a variety of events such as volleyball tournaments, quiz competitions, and celebrations for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, TNVBAVC provides a crucial platform for visually challenged students to showcase their talents and achieve their full potential.
One of the association’s most notable initiatives is the TNPSC Group IV model test program, which has already helped four top performers secure government jobs. Building on this success, TNVBAVC hosted another model test on May 26, at Vidya Ratna PTS Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Sastri Nagar, Adyar. The event aims to prepare participants for the upcoming TNPSC Group IV exam scheduled for June 9.
The model test is designed to not only assess the participants’ knowledge but also to identify areas that need improvement, ensuring that the visually challenged youth receive proper training necessary for success in competitive exams. Such preparation is crucial for achieving greater economic independence. Approximately 100 participants, 100 scribes, and 20 volunteers took part in the event.
The event is supported by NGOs such as Right Turn Organisation and Malarungal Foundation, which are assisting with the arrangement of scribes and volunteers. The event was coordinated by Mr Palanisamy and his team, along with Ms Subhashini.
TNVBAVC remains committed to creating opportunities and providing support for visually challenged individuals, helping them to overcome challenges and succeed in various aspects of life.
The event was very successful thanks to the Management of Vidya Rathna Matriculation Higher Secondary School, who offered their premises for free along with catering arrangements for the participants. Subbalakshmi Aiyer, aged 76 years, represented the school and ensured that everything went in order.
Proud to see many youngsters from Bank of America and TCS act as scribes, not minding their weekend. Let’s pray that these differently-abled men and women break all barriers to be very successful in their mission to live with dignity and become a part of state machinery.
