Greetings to Hamari Vaani and all its listeners. My name is Ram Milan, and I am a 100% visually impaired person from Banda district, Uttar Pradesh. I would like to respond to a query raised by Ashok Kumar from Ambala, Haryana, regarding facilities available for visually impaired persons apart from pension benefits. As per my knowledge, one useful assistive device is a Brailler, which is used for writing in Braille. Although it can be expensive, often costing several thousand rupees, it may be available through the Social Welfare Department or other government schemes in some areas. I would suggest contacting your local Social Welfare Office to inquire about its availability and eligibility criteria. They may be able to guide you regarding assistive devices and other support services for persons with visual impairment. I hope this information is helpful and assists you in finding the support you need. Thank you.
