Ahmadi School for the Visually Challenged
U-DISE PLUS CODE: 09121300505
BRIEF HISTORY
Ahmadi School for the
Visually Challenged was founded by Late Sahebzada Aftab Ahmad Khan in
1927. The Aligarh Muslim University started giving financial
assistance to the school in 1947 and finally took over its management in 1949.
The school gradually developed into a leading institution for the visually
challenged in the country and is the only school of its kind being maintained
by a Central University.
It is a co-education
school, imparting free education through modern scientific methods
and latest techniques of teaching to the visually challenged. This is probably
the only institution for the visually challenged in the country where teaching
of Science and Mathematics (class IX and X) has been organized in accordance
with the syllabi prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Our
technology philosophy is that students must be computer literate to succeed in
their future careers. In order to increase computer literacy, students are regularly
required to exercise their current computer skills and develop new computer
skills for presentations of their understanding of concepts across the
curriculum. Apart from usual academic subjects, the school also provides
vocational training in
Computer Typing, Instrumental & Vocal Music, Handloom Weaving, and
Chair-recaning. NFP- classes, Stitching and Knitting are also being
successfully taught. The school also provides facilities for various games. The
students are made to realize that healthy environment promotes individual
wellness.
The school is mainly
residential with facilities of free boarding and lodging. It has two
hostels, one for the girls and the other for boys. Free medical
facilities are also provided by the school.
The school admits visually
challenged children originating from all over the country, irrespective of
their gender, caste, creed, colour, class or religion.
