Society must approach specially abled with empathy and cooperation: President Murmu

Web Desk, 01/09/202501/09/2025

Mysuru (Karnataka), Sep 1 (IANS) President Droupadi Murmu appealed that society must approach specially abled persons with empathy and cooperation.

She was delivering the inaugural address at the All India Institute of Speech and Hearing’s (AIISH) ‘Diamond Jubilee Celebrations’ in Mysuru city in Karnataka.

“As with other health issues, speech and hearing problems require early detection of symptoms and diagnosis by experts. At the same time, it is necessary to create awareness so that society approaches those affected with cooperation and empathy,” she underlined.

President Murmu emphasised that institutions like AIISH are expected to work with a spirit of innovation combined with compassion, developing technologies that enable people suffering from speech and hearing impairments not only to lead normal lives but also to contribute effectively to society and the economy.

“To make devices such as cochlear implants available at lower costs, it is essential that we become self-reliant in their production. Institutions like AIISH should take a leading role in this direction. As per studies, in 2023, more than 6 crore people in India suffered from hearing disorders. AIISH plays an even greater role as the nodal centre for the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Deafness,” she said.

“Like other health issues, speech and hearing problems require early identification and intervention. Expert care is essential. Society must also sympathise and cooperate with those affected, and awareness must be created in this regard,” she added.

“I am happy that AIISH is playing an effective role in this field. Previously, I had presented a national award to AIISH for its contribution towards the empowerment of specially abled persons. The institute should continue its work to become a model organisation at both national and international levels,” Murmu stated.

“I am also pleased that the inclusive therapy model developed by this institute has been adopted nationally and internationally. It is designed for children with communication disorders. AIISH could also contribute to shaping national policies regarding communication disorders,” she advised.

“Today, technology plays a crucial role in every field. Addressing speech and hearing issues requires the use of the latest technologies, which must be made accessible to the general public,” she emphasised.

“I believe that alumni of the institute should also contribute to achieving these goals. The Indian government, through a unique initiative, is striving to ensure that specially abled persons can live fearless lives and achieve progress. These efforts are being carried out under the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyaan to ensure equal opportunities and development for specially abled individuals,” she added.

“Public places must provide facilities for specially abled persons so that they feel supported by society. World Sign Language Day is celebrated on September 23 to raise awareness about sign language. We must use this occasion to further enrich sign language and develop technologies that enable specially abled persons not only to lead normal lives but also to contribute to society and the economy,” President Murmu stated.

“AIISH has been led by women for the past two decades. Currently, Dr M. Pushpavathi heads the organisation. This institution is an excellent example of women-led development. It provides expert assistance in communication disorders across all age groups,” she said.

“Through a thorough multidisciplinary approach, the institute’s outreach centres operate daily, catering to the needs of the needy and engaging in ongoing assessment and rehabilitation work,” she added.

The land for AIISH was donated by the late Mysuru king, Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar. “I thank Yaduveer Wadiyar, BJP MP and royal scion from Mysuru, who is present here, for honouring the noble legacy of his ancestors,” she stated.

President Murmu also conveyed to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, “Kannada is not my mother tongue; however, I respect all languages, cultures, and heritage. Everyone should strive to preserve language and culture and take steps towards their promotion.”

Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel, Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, and other dignitaries were present at the event.
