Our Theme

  
    This year, the XRCVC has aspired to scrutinize the everyday aspects of our being, under the light of visual constraints. By focusing on the areas concerning education, financial services and
employment opportunities, we realize the shortcomings of our systems which are often taken for granted.
    Through education, we seek to explore the various techniques used by the visually challenged students. We also focus on the availability of printed resources in this context. The participants will learn more about the educational methods of the visually impaired which are only slightly different from those used by the sighted students.
    Focusing on financial services, Antarchakshu 2012 throws light on how the visually impaired access the existing services. The event will also showcase a live accessible ATM, a major step of
financial inclusion which has begun in India.
    Under our theme of employment opportunities, the event will create awareness about the involvement and employment of the visually challenged in various fields of work. Thinking beyond the box, we look into other career options such as adventure sports and help our sighted participants re-think whether one even needs sight to decide and engage in a career of one’s choice or whether it is merely a matter of aptitude and interest.
    The whole Antarchakshu experience will take 45 minutes to 1 hour but we promise that each and every second will be worth it.
