Ever imagined reading the Indian Constitution through touch? Now, it's a reality! Celebrating 75 years of the Indian Constitution, Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot unveiled a Braille-enabled version in Bengaluru. This initiative, powered by Sankara Eye Hospital and CII Young Indians (Yi) Bengaluru, ensures that visually impaired individuals can read and understand their rights—without relying on anyone else!

A Bold Move for Accessibility

This isn't just another book—it's a step towards true empowerment. Dr. Kaushik Murali, President of Medical Administration, Quality & Education at Sankara Eye Foundation India, highlighted the impact of the project: “For the first time, those who are blind or have low vision can independently access the rights and responsibilities that shape their lives.”

And it's not stopping here. The Braille Constitution will be distributed to key institutions across the country, ensuring that more people can benefit from it.

Darshan Mutha, National Chair of Accessibility at CII Young Indians, described the initiative as a game-changer, emphasizing that every visually impaired person should have the necessary tools to live independently. He added that the project aimed to break barriers and create a more inclusive world.

Anita, Head of Vision Rehabilitation at Sankara Eye Hospital, highlighted that the initiative helped bridge a crucial gap. She noted that while many visually impaired individuals had regained independence through technology and mobility training, accessing important civic knowledge remained a challenge—until this project addressed it.

With the launch of the Braille Constitution, India takes a bold step toward true inclusivity, ensuring that knowledge of rights and responsibilities is accessible to all. This initiative is more than just a book—it’s a symbol of empowerment, independence, and a future where no one is left behind.
