World Braille Day is observed on January 4th to raise awareness about the importance of Braille in facilitating independence and inclusion for people who are visually impaired. This day commemorates the birthday of Louis Braille, the inventor of the Braille system. Through this tactile writing system, people with vision loss are able to read and write, providing them with equal access to information and education.

On this day, various events and activities are organized worldwide to promote the use of Braille and to highlight the challenges faced by visually impaired individuals. It is a day to celebrate the transformative power of Braille in empowering individuals and breaking down barriers to communication. Through the promotion of Braille literacy, we can create a more inclusive society where everyone has equal opportunities for education and employment.
