Subhash Ghai’s latest project IQBAL has inspired the National Council for Educational Research & Training and made them take a step wherein sign language is being introduced for the Standard 3 children.

Besides, they have also, for the first time, introduced a poem written in Braille script for Class Six students of Hindi. Also, a chapter on Helen Keller, the deaf and blind American woman who became a role model for millions of people, will also be added.

Subhash Ghai has also been invited as the Guest of Honor to Lucknow for the World Cup Cricket Match for the deaf and dumb players.
 
Wow.....this is a BIG move, most classes for the Deaf in India are oral, and they look down on sign, MAJOR LEAGUE!
