Founder, Ashray Akruti
Mr. D.P.K. Babu
An educationist who has spent more than two decades building schools, therapy centres and training programmes for people with hearing impairment.
A believer in an inclusive society
Mr. D.P.K. Babu set up Ashray Akruti as a non-profit organization and has led it for more than two decades. Under his leadership it runs a special school for children with hearing impairment, an inclusive school where children with and without hearing impairment learn together, an early intervention centre, and a computer multimedia and animation centre, along with two further centres run as public-private partnerships.
He is an out-of-the-box thinker who has worked in disability and education with great commitment for over twenty years.
Why he started
Having a sibling with hearing impairment was the driving force behind setting up the school and the many other initiatives he has undertaken in Hyderabad.
He has introduced several innovative methods of teaching children with hearing impairment, which have helped a number of them move into regular schools. He believes in approaches such as the oral-aural teaching method and the auditory verbal method to develop speech and language in those who cannot hear.
What it has led to
Over the years, Mr. Babu has run the organization successfully and it has won many accolades for the quality of its services. Through his persistent efforts, he has seen his students complete their education at schools, colleges and universities.
