Braille Aid Bank

A Braille Aid Bank was started in the year 1980 with the objective to make available necessary utility, educational and sports items to the needy. The idea is to arrange and provide the best quality products at affordable cost on “no profit no loss” basis. Items which are not locally available are arranged from different manufacturers all over India . During the year we distributed Folding Sticks, Long Canes, Cricket Balls, Pocket Frames, Needle Threaders. Chessboards, Playing Cards, Braille Paper and Learning Device, Signature guides and other items of daily use for the visually impaired. The students from Integrated Education Programme are also deriving benefit from this Bank.

The continued functioning of an extension counter, sponsored by National Institute for the Visually Handicapped, Dehradun is immensely benefitting the visually impaired. An easy accessibility of educational and recreational Material has helped them to save time to under take unnecessary travel for their procurement.
