About
About 314 million people are visually impaired worldwide. 45 million of them are blind. About 87% of the world’s visually impaired live in developing countries. One out of every three blind people in the world – an estimated 15 million blind people, live in India. A needs assessment done of youth with Visual Impairment showed their aspirations were different from other disabilities. Many of them wanted to enroll in professional courses do their doctorate studies or try for Government jobs. Also the trainings for VI are technology driven. Hence this Learning Centre for Visual Impairment was set up, as a beginning in Delhi and Hyderabad. Our Delhi partner is Blind Relief Association, Delhi (B.R.A.D).
