From Gujarat (west) to Manipur (east), Kashmir (North) to Kerala (south)— we hit the road and showed up at 13 partner NGOs in 11 states.
So, what was this nationwide tour all about? Solutions Week! A week dedicated to showcasing assistive technologies used by persons with vision impairment at work, at home, and in education. This was part of our #SeeAMillion campaign, transforming one million persons with vision impairment and low vision into active citizens and nation builders through digital empowerment.
In the spirit of action speaks louder than words, our own colleagues and candidates from EnAble India and partner organisations led live, hands-on demonstrations — showing exactly how screen readers work, how magnifiers support people with low vision, and how assistive technologies can lead to independence.
Visitors tried the solutions themselves, getting real, first-hand experience of tools. Along the way, we strengthened our collaborations with partner NGOs across regions, building deeper connections on the ground.
Why do we do this? Because awareness of assistive solutions is still low in many parts of rural India. Solutions Week was our way of bridging that gap — spreading awareness about technology, skills, and job opportunities for persons with vision impairment. We wanted to build awareness, confidence, and capability.
And the turnout? 2,760 participants, including 622 persons with visual impairment, along with NGOs, government bodies, corporates, and tech partners from across the country.
A huge shout-out to our partner NGOs.
