Centre of Excellence in Tactile Graphics, IIT Delhi proposes to design and produce tactile diagrams for persons with visual impairment. Centre of Excellence in Tactile Graphics has developed and demonstrated the capability for end-to-end production of tactile diagrams for the persons with visual impairment.
Working closely with NCERT, a large number of Science & Mathematics textbooks have been produced and tried out with the visually challenged children studying at blind schools as well as inclusive schools.
