You know the visually impaired “read” by touching and identifying a system of raised dots called Braille, but do you know how Braille is written? January 4 was World Braille Day, and the Workshop for the Blind in LB Block held a competition among the visually impaired to see who could “write” the best in Braille. Meghnath Mondal added that the way sighted people jot down information in diaries, the visually impaired use pocket guides to write in Braille on the go. In special schools, visually impaired students study subjects in Braille. But writing Braille takes up more time and space.
