New Delhi [India], August 28: While most high school students spend their free time on homework or hobbies, 15-year-old Advik Bansal from Dubai has taken on a mission that few have considered — making financial literacy accessible to visually impaired learners.
Advik is the founder of EconReads, a youth-led initiative that produces audio-based educational content tailored for visually impaired students. His journey began after visiting a school for the blind with his grandfather, where he discovered that although students had access to a wide range of resources, business and finance materials were missing.
“I first got the idea when I visited a school for the blind with my grandfather,” Advik recalls. “They had great resources for most subjects, but nothing for business and finance — and I wanted to change that.”
The initiative has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from students and educators alike. Teachers note that these resources not only fill a critical gap in curriculum accessibility but also inspire confidence among students who had previously struggled to engage with financial subjects.
