Odisha is home to 400,000 hearing-impaired individuals, facing communication barriers that limit their access to education and opportunities. Odisha Rising Foundation is breaking these barriers through its pioneering sign language training initiative. By empowering over 3,700 children, 800 teachers, and parents in 55 special schools, and creating a cadre of 100 proficient interpreters, the foundation aims to bridge the gap for the hearing impaired, enabling them to fully participate in society and lead independent, fulfilling lives.
The SANKETA: Mo-Bhasa Project, a collaborative initiative by the SSEPD Department, Government of Odisha, and the Ali Yavar Jung National Institute of Speech and Hearing Disabilities, aims to promote Sign Language across the state. Through this program, teachers, parents, and students from 55 deaf schools will receive specialized training. Over 800 teachers and 4,000 parents will be trained, empowering them to communicate effectively with hearing-impaired children and breaking down communication barriers. This comprehensive training will foster a more inclusive environment, ensuring better education and support for the hearing-impaired community across Odisha.
