| Abstract | the life of the blind people is very hard, even today in the 21. Century, when there are several things that make their life easier. Their biggest problem is traffic, because people sense the environment mostly through their eyes and sadly, the other organs cannot substitute sight. On the other hand, in traffic one risks the lives of others too. Serious injuries can be obtained by not seeing the obstacles in the homes. Bones can break, or even worse, permanent injuries can occur. In serious cases even the chance of death is present. Our vision is to help in this problem by developing a device and corresponding software. Handling should be easy, dynamic and minimalistic. The solution consists of two parts. The first being the software running on a Windows Phone based mobile phone, and the other one is the custom built $DRAC^{1}$ hardware. The hardware contains an ultrasound sensor and two infrared sensors which detect the distance between the objects and the phone, and then the software processes the signal and notifies the user. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
