Public Consultation on Draft Bharati Braille 2.1

The National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities (NIEPVD) has conducted a project on “Standardization and Validation of Revised Bharati Braille for Technological Integration” and has prepared the Draft Bharati Braille 2.1 after validating Liblouis tables.

This draft has been developed through a series of validation workshops and consultations, including focused group discussions conducted across different regions of the country.

The draft has been uploaded on the NIEPVD website on 04 January 2026 (World Braille Day) for a period of 15 days, inviting comments and feedback from all stakeholders, including educators, Braille experts, persons with visual disabilities, publishers, researchers, and technology developers.

All stakeholders are encouraged to actively participate in this consultation process and contribute towards strengthening India’s unified Braille ecosystem.
