Governor of Karnataka Thawar Chand Gehlot launched on Monday a Braille-enabled version of the Indian Constitution, to mark 75 years of the Constitution.
The project was done in collaboration with Sankara Eye Hospital Bengaluru and CII Young Indians (Yi) Bengaluru. “This initiative aims to empower those who are blind or have low vision by enabling them to read and understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens,” said Dr Kaushik Murali, President of Medical Administration, Quality & Education at Sankara Eye Foundation India, in a press statement issued on Monday.
The Braille version will be distributed to key institutions, ensuring wider access, he added.
