Nethrodaya periodically invites visually impaired achievers to share their experience with the residents. These achievers become inspiring role models. The success tips they share are invaluable.

One of the unique initiatives of Nethrodaya is to practice symbiotic relationships between persons of differing abilities. This is beautifully showcased when the orthopaedically impaired read for the visually impaired , and the visually impaired person explains the concepts. It works beautifully for both parties. The orthopedically impaired act as a mirror, specially when the visually impaired people are stepping out.

Nethrodaya organizes an annual state-level career counseling and guidance workshop for 10th std and 12th std students from villages. Close to 300 students benefit from tips and tricks shared by experts who are also visually impaired.

Nethrodaya felicitates visually impaired persons who have made an indelible mark in their respective professions. These awards present to the world the great men and women who have had the courage to look at disabilities from a different perspective. Nethrodaya has instituted some unique awards: for best parents; best farmers; and best couple.

The first of its kind, The Media Eye is a conference organized by Nethrodaya to discuss why and how the media looks at and portrays the visually impaired. It highlights the media's role in enhancing the image of the visually impaired and their innate capabilities. The participants include eminent media personalities like journalists (print and mass media), film directors, and actors. people are stepping out.

Impairment is not a limitation, absence of imagination is. As an innovative organization, Nethrodaya has actively promoted different sports for the visually impaired. The games are specially packaged and designed. It is a visual feast to watch how well the fully and partially blind adapt and compete with vigour in various tournaments: volleyball, chess and cricket.
