News alert-COVID-19: Helpline for blind and visually impaired. Khabri,
India’s first digital audio content platform in the regional language, has
rolled out an exclusive COVID-19 helpline portal/platform to attend the
blind and visually-impaired masses across India during these testing times.
As a part of the initiative, Khabri will provide aid to this segment with
expert inputs from domains including medical, psychological, social or
financial. Through this initiative, the company also aims to raise
awareness and strives to sensitise others around the same. Those in need
can directly contact the team of Khabri on 9810511211 toll-free number,
mobile, WhatsApp or reach them through the Khabri official App.
Emphasising the need to raise awareness in the current situation, Sandeep
Singh, president and co-founder, Khabri, said, “While privileged masses can
ensure compliance to social distancing, a large group of blind and
visually-impaired is facing a plethora of challenges – be it social,
medical or psychological. During these unprecedented times, they need the
utmost care as their entire life revolves around touching and sensing. With
our helpline portal, we endeavour to reach this cohort and address their
problems. Besides this, we are also planning to hold live sessions with
experts for direct interaction and make sure that the community of blind
and visually-impaired is not left behind.”
Commenting on the same, Honorary Secretary In-Charge, S K Singh, NAB said,
“The helpline portal comes as a huge relief to the community of blind
people across the country and further gives them hope to stand stronger in
this scenario. Blinds have a different set of problems in addition to
normal people which will now be noticed and addressed with Khabri’s help.
We would like to thank Khabri and its entire team to turn this brilliant
idea into a possible reality.”
Khabri is also set to launch a dedicated content channel, live counselling
session and a celebrity-led talk show to further its commitment towards
empowering the blind community across India. Source:
