BRAILLE RESOURCE CENTRE

 

Activities

Bangalore University has set up a Braille Resource Centre at its Central College Campus in Feb. 2012 with the ambition of having the best assistive technologies available in the world today for its visually challenged students with disability such as blindness and low vision studying in its post-graduate departments and affiliated and autonomous colleges. The University intends to reach out to its visually impaired students in order to facilitate their process of pursuing higher education and enter the mainstream of society with self-confidence and dignity. The Centre further proposes to perpetuate the immense possibilities of employment for these students and to make them add to the work force and contribute to nation-building.  Presently the Centre is the epicenter for 180 visually impaired students of 36 colleges and 7 PG (Appendix-1) Centres.

Objectives
