From books to exam scribes: How a Vadodara student is supporting visually impaired learners

Zeus Lalani, a Class 12 student from Vadodara, Gujarat, is working to make education more accessible for visually impaired students through two initiatives, Project Eklavya and Project Saksham. While Eklavya provides tactile learning materials, books and parental workshops, Saksham connects students with volunteer scribes for examinations. With research into inclusive education and exposure to public policy, law and entrepreneurship through Yale Young Global Scholars and UC Berkeley, Lalani hopes to build sustainable solutions for educational inclusion.
