Bengaluru, Feb 3 (PTI): Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot inaugurated a Braille-enabled version of the Indian Constitution on Monday, commemorating 75 years of the nation's founding document.
The initiative, a collaboration between Sankara Eye Hospital Bengaluru and CII Young Indians (Yi) Bengaluru, aims to empower visually impaired individuals by granting them direct access to their rights and responsibilities as citizens.
"This initiative seeks to enable those who are blind or have low vision to read and understand their constitutional rights, fostering a sense of empowerment," stated Dr. Kaushik Murali, President of Medical Administration, Quality & Education at Sankara Eye Foundation India.
The Braille edition will be distributed across key institutions to ensure wider accessibility, he added.
Darshan Mutha, National Chair of Accessibility at CII Young Indians, emphasized the broader goal of promoting inclusivity and creating a more accessible world for all.
This step marks a significant milestone in making fundamental legal and civic knowledge more inclusive for the visually impaired community.
