Remembering our Founder Umesh A. Basrurker

“Let it not be said of us that we had eyes yet failed to see, that we had ear yet failed to hear, that we had the god given gift to understanding, yet failed to understand the miseries of the afflicted and handicapped children of god.” 

(Umesh A. Basrurker)

It was this date sixty years ago that Sri Umesh A. Basrurker, who, along with his wife Smt Anusuya founded the Blind Relief Association in 1944, passed away. Students, trainees and staff from all units of the Association assembled for a remembrance meeting and the Havan performed in Gandhi Centenary Memorial Hall and paid their homage to the visionary Basrurkers, who conceived and established this institution which completes 75 years of services in the field of education, vocational training and rehabilitation of persons with visual impairment.
