Visually impaired cyclist Ajay Lalwani begins 7,500 kms journey across India to spread the message of road safety

Tue, 11/16/2021 - 11:04 -- geeta.nair

Mumbai : Ajay Lalwani, a visually impaired cyclist, is embarking on a 7,500 kms journey across India to raise awareness about road safety and the need for adequate lighting on our country’s roads. He will begin his journey from Gateway of India, Mumbai, and will travel twice across the length of the country to Srinagar, Kanyakumari and back to Mumbai, cycling through 12 states over a course of 45 days. His mission is supported by Signify (Previously known as Philips Lighting), the global leader in lighting.

Who will ensure execution of laws on the ground?

Twenty percent of the estimated 285 million global blind population resides in India. A majority of persons with vision impairment stay confined in their homes, with very little or no access to opportunities of education and employment.
But many organizations, individuals, families and communities are working hard to integrate them into the mainstream society. And in the current digital era, the gap becomes easier to bridge.
Smartphones, screen readers and other assistive aids have increased the awareness levels of blind people, opening up access points for them.
