Berhampur: The state government has printed only 2,000 Braille calendars in Odia this year, a number which is grossly inadequate, according to a PTI report.
There are over 10,000 visually-impaired people in the state, Odisha Blind Foundation (OBF) president Bijay Rath told the PTI.
The calendar is printed at the Red Cross computerised Braille printing press here, the only of its kind in the state.
The 16-page calendar has been prepared with the support of the Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities Department (SSEPD).
The calendar marks all festivals dates and government holidays. It also lists the dos and don’ts to stop the spread of COVID-19.
