Anu Arora ^[6] | Anjali Shetty

Abstract: Visual Impairment has long been treated as a deterrent to normal functioning in human beings especially in the participation & economic productivity domains. However, with the advent of Braille & other supportive technologies, loss of vision is no longer a hurdle in gaining education as well as gainful employment. The societal participation of these differently abled individuals makes it imperative that we study various hurdles faced by these individuals in social context, whether it is ambulation, transportation or working in organized sector.
