K Raheja Corp Fosters Inclusion with Braille Card Volunteering Drive

16 Oct 2025 CW Team

During the workshop, participants used threads, textures, toothpicks, and ice cream sticks to craft interactive Braille learning cards depicting animals, fruits, flowers, vegetables, and other everyday objects. These tactile cards aim to help visually impaired children engage with their surroundings through touch.

Adding to the experience, visually impaired youth joined the event to assess the cards and share their feedback. Ajay, one of the participants, said, “Braille is how we see, read, and connect with the world, it’s our language of independence. It felt wonderful to see corporate India take the time to create these cards and understand what they mean to us. Being part of this session was a lovely experience of sharing my world with everyone, and being part of theirs. I love reading Braille books, and I’m happy that these cards will help younger children begin their own journey with Braille.”

The session also featured music by a visually impaired participant, symbolising inclusion through shared joy.

Urvi Aradhya, CHRO, K Raheja Corp, said, “At K Raheja Corp, we believe that meaningful change begins with empathy and participation. This initiative is a perfect example of how creativity and collaboration can make a tangible difference. Seeing our people come together to create learning tools for visually impaired youth truly reflects our culture of care, inclusion, and social responsibility.”

Gargi Modi, COO, ConnectFor, added, “It is inspiring to see K Raheja Corp’s people so deeply engaged in understanding accessibility and creating tools that genuinely make a difference. This initiative goes beyond volunteering, it’s about building empathy, connection, and a shared sense of community.”

The tactile Braille cards were donated to an NGO for further use. Through its ‘Time Off for Volunteering’ policy, K Raheja Corp encourages employees to take paid time off for causes close to their hearts, fostering a culture of compassion and collective action.
