Braille Signages Installed at Madgaon Railway Station for Visually Impaired Passengers
In a significant step towards promoting accessibility and inclusive infrastructure, Braille signages for visually impaired passengers have been installed at Madgaon Railway Station in collaboration with the Kamalaksh Naik Foundation.
The initiative was inaugurated by Shri Subhash Phal Dessai, Hon’ble Minister for Social Welfare, River Navigation and Drinking Water, Government of Goa, in the presence of officials of Konkan Railway and other dignitaries.
On the occasion, the Hon’ble Minister also donated four wheelchairs for the benefit of passengers at Madgaon Railway Station.
The installation of Braille signages is part of the ongoing efforts of Konkan Railway, in line with the vision of Indian Railways, to enhance accessibility and improve facilities for passengers with disabilities. Installed at key locations across Madgaon Railway Station, the signages will enable visually impaired passengers to identify important facilities and navigate the station premises more independently, contributing to a more inclusive and passenger-friendly station environment.
Konkan Railway remains committed to strengthening passenger amenities and promoting inclusive infrastructure in line with the broader objective of Konkan Railway to ensure accessible travel for all.
