Conference
Indian Sign Language (ISL) Version
NAD organizes conferences to promote awareness, meet demands, and empower the deaf community. A conference is a formal meeting in which many people gather in order to talk about ideas or problems related to a particular topic. Through these conferences, NAD brings together deaf leaders, advocates, and community members from across India to discuss important issues, share knowledge, and work towards common goals.
National Deaf Conference (NDC)
Deaf leaders from all over India gather for discussions on:
- • Advocacy of Deaf Rights
- • Meeting government officials
- • Legal matters and RPWD Bill
- • New technologies and deaf-friendly apps
Deaf Women Empowerment Seminar
Deaf women from across India participate to discuss women's rights, laws, healthcare, and safety. These seminars help deaf women become independent and fight for their rights while connecting with others facing similar challenges.
Conference on Deaf Education
Teachers from deaf schools across India receive training from professors at Delhi University and Dr. Madan Vasishta, PhD from Gallaudet University, USA. They learn sign language and better teaching methods to improve deaf education.
Deaf Youth Conference
Experienced NAD leaders teach deaf youth about advocacy, rights, laws, and accessibility. This prepares them to become future leaders who can fight for their rights and lead the deaf movement.
Conference on UNCRPD
India ratified UNCRPD in October 2007. These conferences discuss the 50 articles covering accessibility, laws, human rights advocacy, and the RPWD Bill. Deaf leaders are trained to advocate with state governments.
National Committee on RPWD
People with various disabilities including deaf, blind, and orthopedically challenged participate. Through discussions, they learn from each other and strengthen their advocacy efforts.
After conferences, leaders return to their cities and share the knowledge with local communities, creating a ripple effect of awareness and empowerment.
