She can’t smell at all! Shhh! It’s not called disability! It’s called “Differently Abled!” Even my human can’t see a thing at night! They are practically blind! I wonder how they survived so many years of evolution at all! Yes, I do feel sorry for them. Poor Things! When I see them, I realise how blessed we are!

- 18. CLABIL CLABIL (Central Libraryof Audio Books in Indian Languages) – www.braillecards.org/audio.php Is India’s biggest free for all online audio library in INDIAN Languages. It is Esha’s most ambitious project yet.
- 19. Objective of CLABIL Make audio books freely available to the blind in particular and the print disabled in general Inculcate an early reading habit among the beneficiaries, and ensure that they do not lose the competitive edge gained by the additional childhood reading Generate on-demand content to enrich the lives of beneficiaries To make study material like case studies, solved question papers available to the blind in order to help them pursue a career of their choice Not letting blindness or lack of formal education hinder learning and broadening horizons of the mind.
- 20. Solution Design: WhatCLABIL stands for Central •Online •Accessible to All •No Sign up Required •Can access using mobile phone and data connection •Very limited computer knowledge required . Library •Keeps getting updated •Only literary and academic content. No songs and entertainment. •Aggregator with all other sites that offer audio content in Indian languages. •Demand Based Content •All content downloadable – no need to eat up internet time. •Mp3 format ensures even the cheapest player can be used. Audio Books •Scalable •Does not assume literacy •Braille not required in every language the person needs knowledge resources in. •Can be quickly refreshed. •Volunteers only need to know spoken language, not the script. •Volunteers can record from anywhere – including their homes, and upload. Indian Languages •Mountain goes to Mohammed – Knowledge and life skills in the first language of the recipient. •Can reach rural areas, slum children and older people who may not be English fluent or even literate. •All over the world, no country has tried to create a database of knowledge resources in its native language for non literate populations. Model excellent for BRIC and Africa , which have huge economic disparity because of knowledge and language gap, and corresponding financial growth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZE2h6r1pec
