Sports event for visually impaired persons
Staff Reporter
Chennai:
Sports are everyone's favourite pastime. Visually impaired persons are not an exception to this. Nethrodaya, a voluntary organisation, is conducting a "South India Level Adapted Chess Tournament for the Visually Impaired."
About 200 visually challenged persons are expected to participate in the event on August 13 at Radha Park Inn. To be inaugurated by Radio Mirchi fame Suchitra, the tournament calls for visually disabled to enjoy the experience and realise their ability. N.S. Palaniappan, Social Welfare department secretary, would preside the valedictory function.
Nethrodaya, which was started by C. Govindakrishnan, has organised similar sports events such as cricket and volleyball to prove that visually impaired overcame disability with their perseverance and hard work.
