Spinal Cord Injury India .org is a website for the Spinal Cord Injured community of India for sharing information and providing support to others.

The name of the website, ie, SCI-India comes from the SCI-India yahoo group, of which i am also a member. Thanks to Nitin and SCI-India yahoo group members for allowing to use the name, their suggestions and support. This site also includes(in the forums) several posts from the same group. Thanks to the respective authors for the same.

My name Tony J Jose, and I am the creator of this site. I am a web developer and also currently doing my MSc in Computer Science. I am from Cochin.
I am myself a spinal cord injured with the injury level being T4-5 Complete. I was rendered paraplegic following a corrective surgery for kyphosis (forward bend) on my spine. The kyphosis slowly developed after a 'laminectomy' (surgery on spine) to remove a tumour which occurred at the same vertebral level about 5 years before. I use a wheelchair since 1999.

The site is created using only free and open source software, with the main software behind being 'Drupal', extended with other drupal modules. The source for most of the articles is wikipedia.org which is a free encyclopedia.
The site is best viewed in free browser Mozilla Firefox. I strongly recommend using it.

Have a nice time here..
