Honouring ­children who won the National Bravery Awards on the Republic Day, Nupur Sandhu, a ­member of Rotary Club of Jammu Elite, RI ­District 3070, has ­dedicated an audio book, Bharat ke ­bahadur bache (brave children of India). Supported by RCs Indore Marshals and Sagar ­Phoenix of RID 3040, and RC ­Randolph ­Metrocom, USA, this book was released at the Jaipur ­Literature Festival 2019 and it will be of great help for the ­visually-challenged ­children. It was widely appreciated by the National Association for the Blind.

The stories have been narrated in Hindi by ­Nishant Vikram, an RJ of Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM and the book has been uploaded on the DAISY portal, meant for the ­visually-impaired, ­illiterate and those who cannot read due to old-age or other disability.

It is soon to be adapted in English and Tamil, says Nupur.
