Vision-Aid, Dr Shroff to offer smartphones to visually impaired

DTMT Network

Vision-Aid, an NGO has collaborated with Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital to provide smartphones to the visually impaired free of cost. The initiative has been announced on occasion of International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

Through this program, Vision Aid intends to provide a few hundred smartphones over the next few months.

The initiative will be implemented in phases, with an initial pilot of Phase-one whereby 100 smartphones will be distributed, followed by a larger rollout covering couple of hundred smartphones in Phase-two.

Visual said that it has partnered with NGO Trees for Life India which provides matching grants for their smartphone program.

The mobile phone dissemination will be followed by a Mobile Technology training program to onboard users with the assistive features of the Smartphone, as well as the various applications available.

The training will be conducted at the Lacchman Dass Gupta Vision-Aid Resource Center at Dr. Shroff Charity Eye Hospital, a resource center funded by Ram and Meetu Gupta, philanthropists from Boston, USA who support the center in honor of their late father Mr. Lachhman Dass Gupta of Delhi.

Following the completion of the training program offered at the resource center the beneficiaries have to take a short online assessment conducted by Vision-Aid Academy before they are certified for the same. The Vision-Aid center offers many other types of innovative training programs and technology resources for the blind and visually impaired.

The program aims to help the community of visually impaired gain access to assistive technologies through the smartphones that can have a life-changing impact on them. Various AI-based applications available in the smartphones will help them navigate and connect them to a range of digital education resources thereby opening the doors to sophisticated and freely available mobile applications.

Mr VL Narasimhan, Member Secretary, Vision-Aid India, said, “Through this effort, we are working towards making basic facilities accessible to the people who are in need. We are grateful to Dr Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital for being a part of this initiative and bringing us one step closer to helping more and more people. We believe this program will prove to be a meaningful social development.”

Dr. Umang Mathur, Executive Director, Dr. Shroff`s Charity Eye Hospital, said, “We believe this program will be a game changer and will empower hundreds of visually impaired persons to live a life of independence and self-sufficiency. With the help of technology, the receivers will be able to lead an independent life and we believe with this collaboration we will be able to make day to day activities simpler for them.”
