The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed the universities and colleges to adopt and develop suitable educational resources for visually impaired students.

The institutions are asked to include Braille-print books, large print books, tactile books, and audio books and adopt other assistive devices to meet the needs of visual impairments for equitable access to the curriculum.

The commission also said that these educational resources should also be uploaded on the website of the university and should be made freely available.
