It would be great if we come up with even small small contributions.<br>
This is going to be a unique concept and the vision is to have so
many blind IT professionals that seeing one around us should not be
a surprise, like happens when people see me.<br>
It is a shame that people still get amazed to see me doing
programming or even using computer as a totally blind person.<br>
I here by urge every one to contribute what ever little you can to
my campaign.<br>
Happy hacking.<br>

<br>
Regarded as a hero of India’s free software movement by none other
than Richard Stallman, Mumbai’s blind computer programmer
Krushnakant Mane is currently knocking on the doors for funds to
promote his course dedicated to develop more IT professionals from
visually-challenged students.<br>
<br>
“Computer programming needs ideas and not eyes. I am not looking
for sympathy because I am blind. I am seeking technology for
everyone, which includes the blind community as well,” Mr. Mane
told The Hindu .<br>
