World Braille Day also commemorates the birth anniversary of Louis Braille, who was born on January 4, 1809

World Braille Day, marked on January 4, emphasises the significance of Braille as a form of communication for the partly observed and sightless.

The purpose of the day is to raise mindfulness of the braille language, which attempts to bridge the gap among normal and fresh- abled individualities. Coupvray, France, gave birth to the creator of an vastly espoused touch device enabling visionless persons to read and write. Braille created a system of writing that employed, paradoxically, an awl- suchlike instrument to punch symbols on a distance that can be tasted and read by visionless people after himself being irreparably dazed at the age of three in his father’s defile- making plant. The system was generally neglected until Braille failed in misery on January 6, 1852, in Paris, from illness.
