About Us
Since the inception of Karna Vidya Reading Centre, over the years, a lot of useful material was collected through the volunteers. In 2003, it was felt that the next logical step forward would be setting up of a dedicated library - which would exclusively cater to the needs of the visually challenged and could be used as a database and a reference centre.Facilities offered
