Nice Idea - Blind make tricolour rakhis for soldiers
Yahoo, Tuesday August 8
Mumbai, Aug.8 (ANI): Visually impaired women of the National Association For The Blind (NAB) are making tricolour rakhis for army soldiers deployed in Jodhpur, Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Guwahati and Mumbai.
The visually impaired women are delighted to be given an opportunity to make and send these rakhis to the soldiers at the border.
"It feels great that the Rakhis made by us are tied on the wrists of the soldiers who protect us," said Mayuri Patil, a blind rakhi maker.
"We have named it as Rashtriya Bandhan. Flag colours are used in the making of these Rakhis. We make rakhis for the good health and safety of the soldiers. It also carries a message of long life for the soldiers," said Chhaya Desai, Assistant Director, Utkarsha.
