Hi Srikanth, Primarily it is setup to address issues of visually impaired people in Orissa (Odisha) with a greater understanding of the economy, government, culture, attitude, services available etc. in the state. Also it enables a large population of the state to interact with us in their preferred language. Its a regional branch of the Eyeway helpdesk functioning from Delhi.
