The online library has both Braille and audio version of over 12,000 texts in 14 different languages. NIVH will start by training the staff and visually-impaired students from over 100 universities across India. The library was launched on January 4th, the birthday of Louise Braille, the creator of the six-dot language for people with visual-impairments.
