The National
Federation of the Blind Graduates was established in 1970, with the
guiding philosophy ‘Let the Blind lead the Blind” and latter in
the year 1973, it was renamed National Federation of the Blind. The
idea behind the formation of the organization was mainly to educate
the society about the ability and talents of the visually impaired
to lead a normal life without being dependant and become a part of
the main stream society by sustaining themselves by making use of
the facilities to educate themselves and gain sustainable livelihood
in the society which hitherto was of the view that the blind need
support to lead their lives and are a burden on the respective
families in particular and society in general. The sole aim of the
Federation was to drive this myth away by constantly looking for
avenues and opportunities for the blind in the field of education,
gainful employment and other means of subsistence.
