UoH distributes Smart Vision Glasses to 100 visually impaired
The University of Hyderabad’s Empowered Committee for Differently Abled Persons (ECDAP) distributed 100 Smart Vision Glasses to visually impaired individuals from Telangana and other states, reinforcing its commitment to accessibility and inclusion in higher education.
Hyderabad: In a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) outreach initiative, the Empowered Committee for Differently Abled Persons (ECDAP), University of Hyderabad (UoH), recently hosted a distribution event, where 100 visually impaired candidates received state-of-the-art Smart Vision Glasses (SVGs – Ultra Version).
The cutting-edge assistive devices enable individuals with visual impairments to instantly read written text across all major Indian languages and English, identify individuals and objects, recognize currency notes, and safely navigate obstacles while walking.
The 100 beneficiaries represented a broad socio-economic and national spectrum—including individuals from all walks of life who travelled from across Telangana, as well as students enrolled in major higher education institutions in Hyderabad hailing from states like Haryana, Odisha, and West Bengal.
Prof. Pammi Pavan Kumar, Coordinator, ECDAP, highlighted the university’s resolve to advance accessibility, inclusion, and empowerment for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs)—particularly students with benchmark disabilities seeking higher education and career opportunities.
