This year’s theme is based on ‘No Human Rights Without Sign Language Rights’, which emphasises the crucial role of sign language in ensuring equality, inclusion, and dignity for persons who are Deaf. Union Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment Dr Virendra Kumar, and Minister of State of the Ministry, B. L. Verma, will attend the event.
