This is to bring to your kind notice that there occurs a problem while reading in hindi through the screen reader (Voice Over) in IOS devices. The screen reader speaks the space also while reading the document. It doesn't happen while reading in English.

February is marked as Low Vision Awareness Month. Low vision affects millions of people, children and adults, and cannot be fixed with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or surgery. Low vision also makes some activities difficult like reading, writing and cooking. Playing games can be frustrating too. We have put together a list of five board games that have been adapted beautifully for people who are blind and low vision.
Jadavpur University has provided funds to 22 of its visually impaired students so they can stay at rented places that have good Internet connectivity and attend online classes.
The students, mostly from remote areas, used to stay at JU hostels. Since the campus was shut down in March following the Covid-19 outbreak, they have been staying at home. Many are unable to attend online classes because of poor Net connectivity in their localities.
These students cannot afford rented accommodations in the city because of financial reasons, said JU officials.

Something the outgoing President had ridiculed in myriad ways, throughout his four years of governance (read disruption).
How would you feel? Discouraged, right? This is exactly what Eyeway Helpdesk gets to hear from blind and visually impaired callers across the country. Every day, their banking rights are violated, citing disability as the reason. In addition to being discouraged, they feel humiliated.
