Helen Keller’s Institute aims to start a varsity
The Helen Keller’s Institute set up by Lion Patan Ummar Khan started the first intermediate college for the disabled and the first degree college in 2005, nine years after setting up the institution. The institute now runs a special BEd teachers’ training course and also UG and PG courses in speech and audiology.
The Helen Keller’s Institute set up by Lion Patan Ummar Khan started the first intermediate college for the disabled and the first degree college in 2005, nine years after setting up the institution. The institute now runs a special BEd teachers’ training course and also UG and PG courses in speech and audiology.
Despite running these courses the institute lacks its own building. Khan said he is striving to mobilise funds for constructing the building. Although the government is extending assistance to the institution, Khan is looking for donors so that he can fulfill his dream of converting the institute into a bigger organisation like a university, the first to be devoted completely to the welfare of the disabled.
He has appealed to philanthropists and corporate houses to be generous with their donations as their social responsibility. This, he is confident, would enable him to fulfill the dream of converting the institute into a varsity.
