All these help visually impaired employees to engage more effectively in their career growth and daily life activities. Self-service features, use of WCAG (web content accessibility guidelines) documents and add-ons give more power to people with disabilities so that they can get their tasks done without any complications or issues. There are specially designed technology-driven HR platforms for helping specially-abled people to improve their operational efficiencies within the workplace. "Screen Reading software and special talking and Braille devices allow those with no vision to use computers, cell phones or smartphones and other electronic devices independently. Vicky Jain, founder of HR automation company uKnowva, says modern technology has been especially useful in helping the visually impaired write documents, browse the Internet and use e-mails. Accessible technology tools and devices are bringing visually impaired people to the mainstream and are ensuring that Braille becomes a part of everyday communication. There is an emphasis on learning and acquiring skills for professional growth now more than ever. One silver lining is that technology, which is now pervasive in our day-to-day existence, is affecting changes in the lives of millions of visually impaired people. In India, just 6.86% schools have access to Braille books and audio content, says the report, highlighting the significant gulf between those who need support and those who have access to it. Of the total, only 29.6% are a part of the education system. According to a report by the National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB), around 12 million people in India are visually impaired. Globally, at least a billion people have near or distance vision impairment that could have been prevented or has not yet been addressed. Vision impairment affects people of all ages.
Scientists, researchers and thought leaders are collaborating to create opportunities for those who are visually impaired.
And the discussion has moved far beyond race and colour. The world is looking at making the fruits of globalisation and progress equitable for all. Inclusivity has emerged as the key aspect of development worldwide.
