Visually impaired, consisting of the blind and low vision are one of the most disadvantaged group in the country. Unfortunately India has the highest population of the blind in the world at 150 million. The 2011 Census and other surveys have revealed that the literacy and employment rate of the visually impaired population is at a dismal state when compared to other sections of the population. There is a deep connection between poverty and disability and hence the visually impaired are not in a position to pay for their own education and other rehabilitation services. Only 10% are graduates and more than 72% are unemployed.
Visually impaired need reading material in accessible formats like Braille and Audio, support of special educators for school education, assistive technology training and equipment’s and skill building programs to enhance employability.
There is a lack of such services in the mainstream. There is a need to sustain and scale up the immensely successful Integrated Education and Technology Training for the Blind programs of NAB Delhi to empower more visually impaired.
NAB Delhi will provide its students support for food and accomodation and quality education in mainstream schools. Till the Corona related restrictions are in place these services will be provided at home using online channels or home visits and later at NAB Delhi’s hostel and classrooms in South Delhi.
NAB Delhi has been a pioneer in providing ICT training to visually impaired persons of all age groups. We will continue our training programs and scale it up to reach needy persons from all over the country.
We will be providing reading material free of cost through our Digital Library and resolution of queries through our Assistive Technology Helpline. The Centre for Multi-Disabled will provide the much needed special care and vocational training to deafblind and multi-disabled.
Every year 250 blind children will receive life-changing quality education in best schools through our support. All their requirements will be met by the organization. More than 300 visually impaired will become digitally literate and receive employability enhancing trainings. 40,000 visually impaired from all over the country will benefit from our Digital Library and Helpline services.
100+ deafblind and multi-disabled will get critical care, support and trainings to become independent. Many teachers, NGOs and the mainstream society will benefit from our awareness and capacity building programs.
