About Sanstha:
Introduction:-
From birth to death, they live in a world of eternal silence. They do not know any language, not even their mother-tongue. Self improvised and vague signs and gestures are their only mean of self-expression and understanding others. Formal education, in their special institutions which can help tap residual faculties of hearing and impart a modicum of linguistic skills, is beyond the reach of over ninety nine percent of them, there being just five hundred odd schools for them in the whole of India. The three training institutes for adult deaf can only accommodate two hundred trainees at a time. Training available is generally in age-old trades, handcrafts and not all of them relevant today.

Uneducated, untrained, they fight on their own, a losing battle for survival, in a highly competitive modern society. A life of neglect, suffering and misery is their lot.

Children of a Lesser God, the Deaf:-
To bring some succor to these people, cut off from normal society by insurmountable communication barriers, Delhi Association of the Deaf has been working since 1950. It has been an up till task. Absence of awareness about the cause of the deaf, has deprived the Association of the milk of human kindness, also public and Government assistance.

One of the first to extend a helping hand to the Association was the late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, then the Prime Minister of India. His example prompted several others like Dr. Sushila Nayyar, Shri Inder Kumar Gujral, Shri Hari Krishan Shastri, Smt. Sheila Dikshit, Shri Ashok Gehlot, Dr. Bansi Dhar, Shri Rajendra Gupta and the present helmsman, Shri Rajiv Pratap Rudy, Minister of State, (Independent Charge) Union Ministry of Civil Aviation to come to the aid of Association and lead it from strength to strength.

Thanks to them, and its deaf office bearers, the Association has been able to provide much needed help and healing touch to its members, despite resources constraints, shortage of space and untrained personnel.

Its membership has grown from just five to over , 1300. Over one fourth of its members are from other parts of India and make it an organization with local name but national presence. It provides them facilities for education (formal/non-formal), training in secretarial practices, typewriting, computer operations, Desk Top Publishing etc. It has a well-stocked Library and a Reading Room. Sports and games form an integral part of its activities.

About Org:
DNIS mission:

:- Provide the right information on disability to the right people at the right time to facilitate a positive action.
:- Set a national agenda for participation of persons with disability in nation building.

Information is a powerful tool. It can lead to self-advocacy and empowerment, if used intelligently. This is what DNIS firmly believe in at Disability News and Information Service (DNIS) - a fortnightly news service on the Indian disability sector.

Disabled people account for a whopping 6 percent of India's total population. Deprived of basic rights, they are often ignored when our country planners look into new changes in critical sectors like health, education, transport and commerce.

For far too long, disability in India has been viewed as a thing of charity rather than as a human rights issue. Although as a cultural trait charity may seem well meaning, it creates a dependency syndrome - humiliating indeed for an individual's self esteem.

DNIS aims to empower persons with disabilities by making them, their family members and the society at large aware of their rights.

With disability rapidly emerging as a rights movement in the country, DNIS aims to set a national agenda for the policy makers, by disseminating information and creating awareness about the rights of disabled people.

DNIS aims is to mobilise NGOs, politicians, media, parents, disabled people, educationists, lawyers, architects, designers, town planners, and other civic bodies to create a disabled-friendly and barrier-free society.

They urge your participation by bringing important issues to our attention, by disseminating information you receive from us and by guiding our initiatives through your valuable suggestions.

DNIS is part of NCPEDP's Disability Awareness Unit (DAU). It is supported by European Community and De Samvirkende Invalide-organisationer (DSI), Denmark.
