SHACHI Vaidya, a 100 per cent visually-impaired student, has secured 89.5 per cent in Class 12 state board examinations in the commerce stream, without the use of a writer. She completed her exams using Non Visual Desktop Access (NVDA), a screen-reading software that enabled her to read, write, and navigate the paper. Shachi, presently a student of MKH Sancheti Public School and Junior College, was first introduced to the software when she was in the Class 9. Living with her parents, her mother a homemaker and her father a software engineer, Suchi maintained a consistent study routine throughout the academic year. Alongside her schoolwork, she dedicated three hours to self-study, and more on weekends. Now, she plans to pursue her B.Com, and eventually shift to law or Company Secretary (CS). She said that once a person begins to believe they are limited by their condition, it becomes difficult to move forward.
