I take immense pride in producing future speech and hearing rehabilitation leaders through our time-tested professional approach in research and training with the help of our dedicated staff and faculty. We endeavor to enable our students to face national and global challenges in the world of speech and hearing rehabilitation of persons with disabilities with a multi-prong approach.The institute not only focuses on professional development but also provides an ideal scientific platform for the all-around development of a student to excel in the environment of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities.

Join us and let’s take this journey together for rehabilitation of persons with speech and hearing disabilities.
