Mr. Rahul Deshmukh (President) was denied to the Hostel admissiondue to his blindness when he came to Pune for his College education.

He had to take the shelter on the Railways platform for many days

He realized that these problems are not only his problems but all visuallychallenged students are facing such problems.

This realization inspired him to to think that can’t we have any organizationwhich can understand our problems, believe in us & in our capabilities cancome forward to give a helping hand for youngsters like me who have urge foreducation, development, prosperity & to prove themselves in the society.

He united his visually challenged friends

Established Snehankit Association in year 1999 to support VisuallyChallenged when he was just studying in the 12th Std. at S.P. College, Pune.
