*International White cane Day*

*15th October, 2014. *White Cane day is an international awareness event to
celebrate the importance of the long cane which is celebrated on October 15
every year. This white cane is a mobility tool and it is in practice since
1921. By using this White Cane by the blind or the visually impaired is an
important symbol of tool of independence. The US president has added and
named this day as Blind Equality day.

Mitra Jyothi is a trust working for the disabled for the last 24 years
under the guidance of Ms Madhu Singhal our Managing Trustee who is also
visually impaired since birth. On her instance Mitra Jyothi took up the
cleaning exercise of its own premises and its surroundings. This work has
been in force since last one week, when the Visually Impaired trainees
along with the Managing Trustee and senior staff participated to
enstrengthen the cleaning Swachh Bharat Abhiyan of our Prime Minister.
