It has been brought to our notice that certain opportunistic & unscrupulous elements have been asking for monetary contributions for the Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged (XRCVC), St. Xavier's College; and also in some cases using my name as having authorised their appeal.
We wish to make it amply clear that such activities have not been sanctioned by us and constitute a type of public deception trying to raise money by touching the sympathy of the public for the blind. Please ignore any such financial appeal and draw them to our attention at the earliest by writing to sam@xrcvc.org or calling 022-22623242.
As a policy, we have never solicited any funds through door-to-door or telephonic appeal in the past 15 years of our existence.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sam Taraporevala,
Director,
Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged (XRCVC)
