Making Travel Accessible for the Blind

Partner: Anuprayaas

In India, out of all the people with disability 48.5% constitute of people with visual disability. Yet we do not have sufficient facilities in public places to assist people who are visually impaired, to travel independently. Through this project, we have undertaken an initiative in association with the Indian Railways and Anuprayaas, to provide navigation facilities including Braille Platform Indicators, Tactile maps, general braille signs & braille itinerary at the Chandigarh and Dehradun railway stations to help the visually impaired people travel independently with minimal assistance required.

TESTIMONIALS

- Diwakar

I remember how helpless I felt at the Mysore station when someone misguided me. I was supposed to go to my hometown and end up waiting at the wrong platform only to miss my train. I thank you for addressing our challenges to railways and working on it.

It is our dream and mission to make India Blind Friendly. With this project we aim to create an environment where people with visual disability can travel independently with minimum assistance from others
