In order to create the much needed awareness about the Visually Challenged we have published several
works on and by the Visually Challenged. They are :
a) THE UNHEARD VOICES OF THE NON-SEEING – a collection of essays on the various stages of the
Visually Challenged starting from Birth. This book is written by Dr.G.Jayaraman.
b) KAANAADHA ULAGIL KELAADHA KURALGAL – The collection of essays mentioned above in Tamil.
c)MARUPAARVAI _ a collection of brief life-sketches of twenty Visually Challenged persons.
d) A COLLECTION OF TAMIL SONGS SET TO TUNE- by Mr.Venkatasubramanian, a Visually
Challenged Music Teacher.
e) OESAIGALIN NIRAMAALAI – a collection of Poems in Tamil written by Prof.G.Kannan, a VisuallyChallenged poet.
f) OOTRUKANGAL – A collection of prize-winning short-stories penned by Visually Challenged students and adults. The competition was conducted by Welfare Foundation of the Blind.
g) THE STATE OF SCHOOLS FOR THE VISUALLY CHALLENGED IN MADRAS STATE – written by
Dr.G.Jayaraman.
h) THARKAALA THAMIZH KAVIDHAIGAL – a collection of some 50 contemporary Tamil Poems inBraille.
Apart from our own publications we have also been instrumental in getting the works of several aspiring
visually challenged creative writers, printed. Thus, PUDHUPUNAL PADHIPAGAM has published the
poem-collection of poet Mu.Ramesh and VIRUTCHAM VELIYEEDU has published poet.G.Kannan’s
second poem-collection ‘Mazhaikkudai Naatkal’. We have several other manuscripts with us and
hopefully we would get them published soon.
