National Institute for the Deaf, Gujranwala is playing a pivotal role in educating and looking after the deaf children of the community. More than 350 deaf children study at the institute, the majority of whom are orphans or come from very poor families. Aside from free education, they are also helped with free clothing, shoes, medicines, materials for education and vocational training, and free transport. Besides general education, practical training in various crafts helps them become productive, well-adjusted members of society.
