The Lucknow University is in the process of building a library for its visually impaired students. Named Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Library, it will be an exclusive library for the visually impaired with a capacity to seat 50 visually impaired persons. Proctor of the university, V.D Mishra said, ‘‘We provide special facilities to them at the Tagore Library also. It is equipped with a conversation machine and braille transcript.”<br><br>Visually impaired students have also been allotted 15 rooms at the Narendra Dev Hostel. The library is situated in front of the hostel, making it easily accessible to blind students.<br><br>With facilities like free education and free stay, the university anticipates that the strength of visually impaired students would rise in the university. The success of their attempts can be gauged from the fact that the number of visually impaired students has gone up this year from 22 to 30.
