Gathering social parity with an aim to involve the physically challenged individuals is the first step for growth in the economy that offers more sustainability for an environment that is more inclusive.

With social inclusiveness and awareness amongst the masses with no biases for people belonging to different backgrounds or inabilities there has been more acceptance shown in the society towards the visually impaired.

Given more opportunities that have been created with corporates becoming aware on empowering individuals, the visually impaired now have many opportunities that they can garner for their growth and benefit.

According to National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB), 12 million people in India are suffering from visual impairment, and out of these only 29.16% are part of the education system. A mere 6.86% schools in India have access to Braille books and audio content. The education system not embracing the differently abled people especially visually impaired individuals, made it a challenging for them to apply and get jobs.
