Dear well-wishers,

Greetings from SEDB!

Reporting on trip to WFDB workshop at Kenya!

Dear friends, I would like to share exciting news with you all. We (Pradip Sinha -The Chairman| Sunil Abbas - The General Secretary and Zamir Dhale - The Founder of the SEDB India) went to attend the 6th General Assembly at World Federation Of The Deafblind (WFDB) hosted in Nairobi, Kenya from 24th to 29th of October 2022. It was a great opportunity to network with various deafblind leaders across the globe. We were able to share and enrich our knowledge and experiences of each one of our journey in empowering deaf-blind across geographic locations. We strongly believe this knowledge is very rich and will help us to achieve many successes. We learned and shared our experiences with each other. We learned a lot from their experiences.

Awareness a Deaf-blind

Can a deafblind passenger travel independently? What do you think? Is it easy? You can imagine - a deafblind person cannot hear, cannot speak and cannot see.  But can do many things! Some passengers in railway station, bus stop and airport refuse to help, insult and make fun of deafblind passengers like me.

I have faced many problems: missed my way, even missed my train, and also flight. I tried to fight with crew members at airport few years back for de-boarding me from the aircraft twice. The crew mem...

Deaf-Blind Catagorised as Multiple - Disability. Why?

Hello Disability Rights Activists, I trust you are safe and doing well. I would like to share an important update with you.  My younger brother, Akhtar Dhale who is also deaf-blind like me, is living in Pune. He is self-employed and is working from home selling candles and cloth bags with very minimal income. He is with our parents who are too old.  His wife who is deaf is a house wife. Last Wednesday Akhtar went to Sasoon Eye Hospital for renewing his disability certificate for his disability pension. I advised him to take only Blind certificate instead of Deaf certificate as well. My brother's wife who is deaf also went along. The doctor assumed that both were deaf  and gave him the certificate for deafness. But my brother thought that it was for 100% Blindness.  When he submitted the photocopies of the certificate to the department at Pune Municipal Corporation, they were not approved. My brother could not check by reading the certificate. My cousin brother later ...
