Tactile books with maps and diagrams for visually challenged students will become a reality soon with the National Council of Educational Research and Training introducing them in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. So far, books in Braille had no maps and diagrams.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NCERT is seeking suggestions from the States before it can start the process. &amp;ldquo;The exercise calls for a special training for teachers, but we are keen on getting it off the ground as soon as possible,&amp;rdquo; B.K. Tripathi, Joint Director, NCERT, said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The IIT went by the guidelines drawn up by the Braille Authority of North America and the Royal National Institute of Blind People of the U.K., which have had tactile designs for the past 40 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The idea is to have tactile diagrams for students to get a feel of the maps which uses 3-D printing for mould-making and thermoforming. Though the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped has Braille books and special maps are available, this marks the first foray of the NCERT into tactile books with maps and diagrams,&amp;rdquo; said M. Balakrishnan, Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the IIT. Official sources put the number of the visually challenged at three crores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate &amp;ldquo;Accessible India, Empowered India&amp;rdquo;, a scheme aimed at ease of access for persons with disabilities in government buildings and public transport. &amp;ldquo;It is the responsibility of the signatories to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to ensure access to persons with disabilities to the physical environment,&amp;rdquo; said Mukesh Jain, Joint Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Union Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry.

The NCERT is seeking suggestions from the States before it can start the process. &amp;ldquo;The exercise calls for a special training for teachers, but we are keen on getting it off the ground as soon as possible,&amp;rdquo; B.K. Tripathi, Joint Director, NCERT, said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The IIT went by the guidelines drawn up by the Braille Authority of North America and the Royal National Institute of Blind People of the U.K., which have had tactile designs for the past 40 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The idea is to have tactile diagrams for students to get a feel of the maps which uses 3-D printing for mould-making and thermoforming. Though the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped has Braille books and special maps are available, this marks the first foray of the NCERT into tactile books with maps and diagrams,&amp;rdquo; said M. Balakrishnan, Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the IIT. Official sources put the number of the visually challenged at three crores.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate &amp;ldquo;Accessible India, Empowered India&amp;rdquo;, a scheme aimed at ease of access for persons with disabilities in government buildings and public transport. &amp;ldquo;It is the responsibility of the signatories to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to ensure access to persons with disabilities to the physical environment,&amp;rdquo; said Mukesh Jain, Joint Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Union Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry.

NCERT to publish tactile books for visually challenged -Anuradha Raman

-The Hindu Tactile books with maps and diagrams for visually challenged students will become a reality soon with the National Council of Educational Research and Training introducing them in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. So far, books in Braille had no maps and diagrams. The NCERT is seeking suggestions from the States before it can start the process. “The exercise calls for a special training for teachers, but we are keen on getting it off the ground as soon as possible,” B.K. Tripathi, Joint Director, NCERT, said. The IIT went by the guidelines drawn up by the Braille Authority of North America and the Royal National Institute of Blind People of the U.K., which have had tactile designs for the past 40 years. “The idea is to have tactile diagrams for students to get a feel of the maps which uses 3-D printing for mould-making and thermoforming. Though the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped has Braille books and special maps are available, this marks the first foray of the NCERT into tactile books with maps and diagrams,” said M. Balakrishnan, Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the IIT. Official sources put the number of the visually challenged at three crores. On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate “Accessible India, Empowered India”, a scheme aimed at ease of access for persons with disabilities in government buildings and public transport. “It is the responsibility of the signatories to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to ensure access to persons with disabilities to the physical environment,” said Mukesh Jain, Joint Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Union Social Justice and Empowerment Ministry.   The Hindu, 3 December, 2015, please click here to access
