Our vision is to have every deaf person be a net contributor to the world around him. A major roadblock for this vision to be fulfilled is the lack of qualified educational resources specifically catering to the deaf community. This is especially true when it comes to material that deals with information technology.

Qualified resources in our case are any resource material available in India Sign Language (ISL)
