India has changed its over 40-year-old definition of blindness, bringing it in line with the WHO criteria, a step that would drastically bring down the number of people considered “blind” in the country.
According to the new definition, a person who is unable to count fingers from a distance of three metres would be considered “blind” as against the earlier stipulation of six metres, which was adopted in 1976.

Court exempts more categories of persons with disabilities
Even as the Centre asserted that respect for the national anthem and flag is “a matter of national pride and non-negotiable”, the Supreme Court questioned the need to expressively define ‘respect’ for the two national symbols when such a feeling of reverence is already inherent in the Constitution. A three-judge Bench of Justices Dipak Misra, A.M. Khanwilkar and M.M. Shantanagoudar modified the court’s November 30, 2016 order, making it compulsory for all to stand up in cinema halls when the national anthem is played.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday exempted the categories of disabled persons from standing during national anthem before screening of a film.
In its earlier order, the apex court had ordered that every person has to stand during the screening of national anthem.
The court also issued notice to the centre on the plea seeking Vande Mataram essential for all educational institution.
The Centre has been given a time period of 4 weeks to revert. The next date of hearing in the matter is on August 23.
