  • Each and every adult losing vision due to incurable genetic diseases or accidents or surgical failures must be motivated to learn Braille to be literate again
  • Print and publish as many Braille books as possible and on as variety of subjects as possible to encourage a Braille reader to be more informed about the world he/she lives in
  • Record and prepare a large variety of Talking books with latest technological aids & devices so that a Blind person can compete successfully with his/her sighted peer
