Bhopal: Training in cutting hair and massage to help the disabled..

JN Bhati of Dream Rajasthan Beauty Parlour has opened his training course for persons with disabilities in hair cutting and massage. In an interview he said that he wanted to help the disabled so that they could become financially independent and earn a reputation in the society.

The free training is provided in Shahpura (where his parlour is situated). He said that he wanted to transmit his talent of cutting hair by closing his eyes and doing his work. He added that if he could cut hair with his closed eyes then there was no reason why those without vision could not.

Jyoti Dhrave and Rekha are currently under training and say that despite Bhati being very busy he still found time to help them learn well.
