MUMBAI: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis instructed the social justice department to prepare a plan in a month for setting up high schools and colleges for hearing-and-speech-impaired students in the state.
Fadnavis called a meeting on Monday to solve the issues of hearing-impaired students with the State level association representatives at the Mantralaya.
"The state will put all efforts to teach Indian sign language in schools and will also set up learning centres for the same. Maharashtra will be the first state to do so," he added.
The CM also agreed for a Brain Stem Evoked Response Audiometry Test to find out genuine beneficiaries so that the actual needy should only reap the benefits. At the same time, ITI courses with the facility of interpreters at all divisional headquarters will be considered to enhance the technical knowledge of the students.
