Abstract: The paper highlights the educational journey of visually challenged learners as they navigate the path from school to higher education. The policies and provisions of the Indian education system designed to enable the inclusion of learners with special needs constitute the theoretical foundation of the study. In this context, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 is especially relevant since it presents a revised version of the 1995 Act and incorporates contemporary concerns from the field of disability research and practice. The methodology includes an exploration of the experiences of visually challenged learners with the help of personal narratives and group discussions. The findings bring forth the challenges that learners face in their pursuit of career advancement. The critical role of enabling provisions in facilitating their educational progress and helping them realize their aspirations is another important aspect which emerges from the interpretive analysis.
