[lg policy] Asia's 'First Sign Language Institute' to Open in Delhi, India

[Gareth Price]

'Yesterday the ministry of social justice and empowerment asked us to
go ahead to establish the first sign language institute in entire
Asia. It will be called the Indian Sign Language Institute and will be
based out of our Delhi campus with a dedicated infrastructure of its
own. Here we will train students from all over the world in the sign
language so that they can impart education in schools or colleges for
the deaf and mute.'
