Chandigarh, Feb 15(ANI): 'Institute for the Blind' has created a sensory
park with the help of Chandigarh administration and Municipal Corporation
for the use of visually challenged persons.
This park has been built to provide a safe place for the visually impaired
to walk around in a fresh environment, away from traffic and pollution.
The Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh has spent 23,000 dollars to create
the 0.41-acre park replicated from similar parks in Osaka, Japan.
Many aromatic herbs and medicinal plants like jasmine, lavlena, albertine,
mint, neem, tulsi and bamboo have been planted here.
While creating the park, the corporation invited visually impaired
children and noted their feedback and suggestions.
"If one sense organ is defective, the other senses are more developed.
Here we train the visually impaired kids to use rest of their organs to
the fullest. Technically it is called compensatory mechanism," said
Jagannath, headmaster of the Institute for the Blind.
"In sensory garden, these kids can explore, smell and feel new things.
They can share ideas and interact with the citizens of the society. In
this way they will learn new things and also develop healthy relations
with the community," he added.
