National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities is facing a protest

Dehradun’s National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities is facing a student protest that exposes a serious gap between its name and the reality students describe. The institute functions under the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, yet students say their concerns have remained unresolved despite repeated representations to authorities. The ongoing protest has also continued after talks with the administration failed to settle the issue. For students dependent on institutional support to pursue higher education, delays in scholarships and unresolved administrative concerns can directly affect their futures.
