Establishing its roots in 1987 through a collaboration of state and central government, TCTVI (Training Center for the Teachers of Visually Impaired) has become an indispensable asset in the lives of the visually impaired. As a substantial training center, it has successfully trained more than 900 teachers over the last four decades, offering them invaluable skills to aid the visually impaired and making a profound impact on countless lives. This institution remains the one and only of its kind in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, cementing its significance even further. The proposed closure threatens to rip away this vital institution, leaving a void for the visually impaired and their teachers.

If this institution closes, it will derail the lives of the visually impaired students who heavily rely on this source of support. It will discontinue the training of future teachers for the visually impaired, severing the crucial lifeline of these students to the world.

This isn't just about an institution; it's about the hundreds of visually impaired students whose lives are dramatically improved by it, the hard-working teachers trained by it and the injustice of removing this beacon of hope without a due cause.

We call upon the Central Government to halt the shutdown of TCTVI and continue its rich legacy. We implore them to prioritize the needs of the visually impaired population, who truly deserve our support and attention. Your signature is not just a signature; it's a voice for the visually impaired individuals and their teachers. We humbly ask for you to sign this petition and make your voice heard. Let's fight for justice, let's safeguard the future of our visually impaired students together.
