Japanese language trainees appear for JLPT

Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) is an internationally conducted examination to certify the proficiency levels of individuals in Japanese language.  In the JLPT conducted this year on 5 December 2021, five visually impaired candidates who are studying Japanese language under the language training programme of the Blind Relief Association, appeared in Level 5 and  Level 4 Tests.  All of them are alumni of Association’s JPM School.  They include Mr. Ramdas Shivhare, a Banker and Research Student in DU; Mr.Gaurav Kumar, a postgraduate student of Sanskrit in JNU;  Mr.Ajay Gupta, Mr.Vidyanand, Mr.Nikhil Srivastava all undergraduate students in DU.  All of them are conversant with Japanese Braille which is essential for appearing in the Test.  Several Japanese and Indian volunteer teachers have worked hard online and offline to train the students. The lessons are painstakingly prepared in e-text by the volunteer teachers, which are then printed in Braille by the Association’s  Braille Printing Unit.
