A Braille version of the Right to Information Act and its rules was released here on Thursday by the Gujarat Information Commission for the benefit of the visually challenged.
According to Chief Information Commissioner R.N. Das, Gujarat is the first State to bring out a Braille version. He said the Commission was also working on bringing out an audio CD for the visually challenged and other differently abled people to explain the Act.
A CD in sign language for the hearing impaired would also be brought out.
Mr. Das said the Commission had been getting a lot of petitions under the RTI Act from visually challenged people, mostly connected with their livelihood.
