Develop a specialized classroom equipped with assistive devices required to enhance the learning of children with deafness. This initiative aims to enhance access to quality education fostering inclusivity and improving academic success and communication skills for children with hearing impairments.

In the year 1974, a school was born in a small town Bandel, a very old Portuguese colony, 40 km away from Kolkata, West Bengal. India. There were six children. They were unlike other children. The community deprived them of their personal, social and emotional needs and rights. The meaning of life was very different for them. A group of social activists felt that the society was self-centered, indifferent and not just to all its members. They had neither any resource nor any technical expertise. But they had a dream. A dream of a more sympathetic society, just and inclusive of all irrespective of the state of their abilities. They started a school. A school for deaf children.

Today, this school, Pratibandhi Kalyan Kendra (PKK) has evolved into a substantial organization, earnestly serving over a thousand children and adults from diverse backgrounds, encompassing various impairments and vulnerabilities. Its comprehensive offerings include clinics, inclusive education, guidance programs, and community-based activities. Beneficiaries span across all walks of life.

Initially founded by individuals with humble backgrounds, the organization was born from a shared conviction that society should be equitable for every member. Over time, some members pursued formal training in deaf education, while experts from various disciplines such as Audiology, Psychology, Special Education, ENT, Social Work, and Management gradually joined and assumed pivotal roles within the organization.
