Compelling from the point of social justice as well as business sense. Yet, this doesn’t get reflected. A huge gap that needs to be addressed, as a Reserve Bank of India’s high-level committee emphasies.

A new device that can help visually impaired students do practical math with ease
Oguz Karadag from Turkey has invented a new device that he claims will help visually impaired students do practical math with ease. This is a major breakthrough as traditionally many blind students are not encouraged to pursue math at higher grades.
Turkey-based Oguz Karadag struggled to learn geometry as he is visually impaired. So Karadag, who dreamed of becoming a mechanical engineer, decided to create a device of his own. The device, as yet unnamed, will reportedly help visually impaired people learn mathematics and geometry with ease.

The varsity’s buildings fail to comply with the ‘Harmonised Guidelines and Space Standards for Barrier-free built Environment for Persons with Disability and Elderly Persons’ as prescribed by the Ministry of Urban development in 2016. The guidelines include a 16-point Access Audit Checklist.
Helping the visually impaired ‘see’ art
Varsha’s voice bubbles with excitement as she shares her feelings about experiencing a painting for the first time. “I have seen a dog, swan, sun, moon, flowers and birds,” she says. A visually impaired person, she describes with glee everyday objects most of us take for granted.
At a little distance from her were about 20 paintings created with primary colours and scenes from nature but with tactile quality.
