This Institution has established a High Speed Computerized Braille Press under Central Sector Scheme of “Support for Establishment of Braille Presses” with recurring and non-recurring support from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Department of Disability Affairs, Government of India in Jully 2019. The Nodal Agency for this Project i.e. National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities (NIEPVD), Dehradun has been monitoring this activity. Braille Text books distributing to blind school for the students from class 1st to 12th at free of cost as per the demand of the school according to the class and subject of the students. Newly published guide and study book (work book), question set (paper set) etc. We intend that every blind school should have a Braille library. Braille library includes books, periodicals, fortnightly or monthly newspapers etc. There should be all types of Braille books. So that reading culture is created among visually impaired students. Accordingly, NAWPH Braille Press provides Braille printed books for school's 'Braille Library' at free of cost. All these Curricular or extracurricular braille books are sent by post at no cost to the school. Till date almost 5000 visually impaired students have benefited from different 50 Blind Schools and Integrated set-up schools and Colleges by curricular braille text books. As well as almost 1000 visually impaired persons have been benefited with supplementary books for reading through our braille press. We hope to provide educational, co-curricular, spiritual etc. in Braille format for visually impaired students who are still deprived of curricular books and other book knowledge. This braille press is becoming useful to fulfill the need of Braille literature.
