Ludhiana, March 23 -- A city-based activist has alleged that visually impaired students in Punjab's colleges continue to face serious hurdles in accessing education despite clear provisions, with basic facilities still missing.

Under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, educational institutions are required to make infrastructure, study material and teaching methods accessible.

However, the activist claimed that most colleges have failed to provide essential resources such as Braille books, audio material and screen reader-compatible content. An RTI filed with Panjab University revealed that while some facilities exist on the main campus, there is no mechanism to ensure that affiliated colleges follow these norms.
