Before
the Braille code, Hauy system was in usage to teach the visually impaired
people. This was the toughest system. It required more time period for training
and allowed the people to read only not to write. So Braille developed an easier
tactical set of symbols with raised dots on a piece of paper. While people were
touching the code on the paper with their finger tips, they recognized the symbols
with the sense of feeling by touch. He implemented this symbolic language not
only restricted for alphabets but also developed symbols for music. Still
Braille language is in usage. Now a days there are different formats of Braille
is available to teach blind people. World Braille day is not a holiday. NGOs
across the world organizes many events for conceive awareness regarding the
problems of visually disabled people and support to these people for getting
more opportunities economically and socially.
