hi, the moon writing system which was developed by dr. moon in 19th sentury, is a method of reading for those who lately got blind and so it's hard to learn braile for them. basically, The Moon System of Embossed Reading (commonly known as the Moon writing, Moon alphabet, Moon type or Moon code) is a writing system for the blind, using embossed symbols mostly derived from the Roman alphabet (but simplified). It is claimed by its supporters to be easier to understand than Braille, but it is mainly used by people who have lost their sight as adults, and thus already have knowledge of the shapes of letters. Those who are by birth or early blind, may find it difficult if they don't know the shape of English letters. Though I'm not sure that is there any institute of learning moon is available in india, but you can certainly look for some resources on web. RNIB (royal national institute for the blinds" has extensive collection of moon related resources. They also provides one free moon alphabet card while more cards can be purchased at a reasonable prize.
