Sunday, 02 September 2007

A help-group called Nethrodaya has set up a cyber café at Moggapair in Chennai. The cyber cafe is a first of its kind in the country, where visually impaired people can access Internet using the software called JAWS, provided by Bill Gates Foundation and Freedom Scientific.

G Govinda Krishnan, head of the help-group 'Nethrodaya', says, “For the past couple of decades, the visually impaired are finding it really tough to operate or to use computer media.
