A ‘Hi’ for an eye

Are we too blind to see the visually challenged?

Blindness Awareness Campaign | January 2023

Blindness: Where does India stand?

India is home to a third of the world’s blind population. It is also the country with the largest number of blind children in the world. Yet, we greatly fall short in awareness of blindness. Are we creating an inclusive society for the visually challenged?
Join us as we discuss blindness, the ways to address it, and where India fares on this.
