Despite our otherwise imperfect record in recognising the rights of people with disabilities, it is a matter of some pride that India’s copyright law anticipates the Marrakesh Treaty of the World Intellectual Property Organisation that has now legalised the right to read for an estimated 314 million blind and print disabled.

An ambitious blueprint to set up an engineering college by the Devnar Foundation, with help from professors of BITS Pilani, along with 20 different digital and Braille software and initial funding arrangement is however ready.
The Delhi University today informed the High Court that all the visually impaired students will be given laptops fitted with Non Visual Desktop Access (NVDA) software.
The university told the court that this was being done so that the students do not suffer in the four-year undergraduate programme, being implemented from July 24.
The Delhi high court on Wednesday extracted an assurance from the Delhi University that all grievances of visually impaired students especially regarding mandatory courses in mathematics and science will be addressed before the commencement of the four-year programme later this month.
