With Braille embosser, Goa the shows way

Posted: 06 Nov 2010 08:58 AM PDT

Reaching out to visually challenged people in Goa, the government printing press on Thursday became the first such institution in the country to launch a Braille embosser that will “print” all government notifications and other publications in Braille.

A Braille embosser is basically a printer which converts normal text keyed into it into Braille so that blind people can read the document by feeling it. Speaking  on the  occasion, printing  and stationary  minister  Aleixo Sequeira said the Braille documents  would be given free to the  blind but the person must first submit his disability certificate.

The Braille publications will also be given to  commercial  establishments on  demand on a  payment of  Rs 2 per  page. Educational institutions  can purchase the same on payment of Rs 1 per page, Sequeira said.

The government printing press also inaugurated the CTP (computer to plate) technology. Speaking on  the  occasion, printing and  stationary  minister Aleixo Sequeira said  the printing press is only the  fourth  press in Goa to  have  the  CTP  technology. According to  printing press  director N D Agarwal CTP technology will enhance printing quality, speed of processing. and save money by eliminating various consumables required for   printing While the Braille embosser has been procured at a cost of Rs 2 lakh, the CTP technology has cost Rs 55 lakh.

The government printing press also inaugurated a paper cutting machine and a perforating machine, and Sequeira released a manual of labour law and a calendar and diary for 2011.
