Braille Day

BERHAMPUR: The international Braille Day was celebrated in the residential girls’ school for the blind in the city on Sunday evening. The students and teachers of the school held a function to remember the efforts of Louis Braille to develop the Braille script for the blind which was still in use even in the ages of computers. They demanded the State government to print more general books in Braille script for the blind children.
