In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham speaks with Salman Ali Qazi, Head of the Special Education Department at Christchurch College, Lucknow, who is breaking barriers for visually impaired students.

Despite facing challenges with retinitis pigmentosa since childhood, Salman completed his education including law school, before finding his true calling in special education. After discovering screen reading software and learning Braille during his B.Ed. at Dr. Shakuntala Mishra University, where he topped his batch and received a gold medal, he went on to transform inclusive education practices.

Today, at Christchurch College, Salman has developed an innovative system where visually impaired students receive specialized training in Braille and computers, transition successfully to mainstream classes, and learn independently through technology-enabled solutions.
