Wipro Cares has been working with Ashray Akruti- a non-profit integrated school to provide education facilities to hearing disabled and normal children from under privileged sections of the society.

Ashraya Akruti has focused on residual hearing power of the students thus encouraging them to speak rather than use sign language. They focused on active participation of the mothers in the development of the children. The school is an integrated school and maintains a low teacher – student ratio. This enables each student to get the individual attention they deserve. These strategies have helped the students join mainstream schools faster and encourage and facilitate their attendance.

The project has supported approximately 200 students from the underprivileged section of the society with hearing disability and has helped children, despite their handicap, become independent, self reliant and contributing citizens of the country, which has lead to the increase in the number of hearing impaired children improving their speech and language resulting in the increase in the number of enrolment in main stream schools.
