We, lndian Association for the Blind (lAB), are based in South India and are a well-known non-profit organization working to provide education, employment, training and rehabilitation for the visually challenged from rural areas. Late Mr. S.M.A.Jinnah, the visually challenged activist and a group of like-minded visually challenged people founded IAB in 1985. Until today,we have benefited more than 11200 youths who have now proved to be productive members of society.

Assistive Device helps our visually impaired students to increase their access to the general curriculam and improve their academic performance. As the name suggests, these devices will assist them in their daily lives by offering the best possible help of operating all devices with ease. This project helps to give more the technologies for our students. 

In this fast-paced world, everything around us is rapidly changing and it requires each and every one of us to be in tune with the flow.
