With only a few days left for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examinations to begin, hundreds of visually-impaired students in the Capital are struggling to find scribes to write papers on their behalf. While the schools arrange these facilities for the regular students, it is the private ones who struggle on their own. However, experts demand that all the boards should provide question papers in braille. "By not providing the question papers in braille, the education boards are clearly violating the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. Things will be easy if question papers are in braille," said Dr Satendra Singh, a disability rights activist.
