At a time when online education has become the norm, a Pune-based student has come up with the idea of providing audio books to the visually challenged. Vishal Palve, a Masters student from Pune University, has started a petition online to urge the state board to make such textbooks from all classes available in the audio format.

During the lockdown, a few visually challenged friends approached Palve to help them record notes and textbooks in the audio format and soon he started the initiative Let’s Record – a platform through which he is mobilising volunteers to record notes and textbooks.
