Subject: Re: [AI] Centre no more blind to visually impaired, funds books in Braille I have been advocating for a braille noticeboard in my college for a long time. There is a large number of visually impaired students in the college, and in most of the cases they do not get to take part in various events taking place in and around the college just because the notices are pasted in print. A braille noticeboard would serve the purpose.
