This Independence Day - Let’s celebrate it little differently by learning and signing the National Anthem in sign language. By celebrating Independence Day and recognizes the importance of sign languages for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and fulfilling its core promise of leaving no one behind. It also offers an opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all sign language users. According to the World Federation of the Deaf, there are approximately 72 million deaf people worldwide. More than 80% of them live in developing countries. Collectively, they use more than 300 different sign languages. Sign languages are fully fledged natural languages, structurally distinct from the spoken languages. There is also an international sign language, which is used by deaf people in international meetings and informally when travelling and socializing. It is considered a pidgin form of sign language that is not as complex as natural sign languages and has a limited lexicon. We will train the volunteer how to sign their names and Basic conversation with Deaf and Mute People (who will also be Volunteers) then National Anthem will be taught in sign Language.
