Blind Student Denied Visa, Asks Centre for Help

A visually impaired student from Hubballi has been denied an Italian visa, leading to an appeal for assistance from the Indian government. The student, who had applied for the visa to pursue higher education in Italy, was reportedly refused due to unspecified issues with the application.

The denial has left the student and their family distressed, as the visa was crucial for the student's academic and personal development. They have reached out to the central government, seeking intervention and support to resolve the situation and facilitate the visa process.

The case highlights challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in navigating visa applications and obtaining necessary travel documents. The student's appeal underscores the need for sensitivity and accommodations in the visa application process for persons with disabilities.

This situation has prompted discussions about improving visa services and ensuring that individuals with special needs are not disadvantaged in their pursuit of education and opportunities abroad.
