BACKGROUND INFORMATION / HOW IT WAS STARTED
People With Hearing Impaired Network (PHIN) is a voluntary non-profit Disabled People Organization registered under the Societies Act in 2007 under the eminent leadership of MRS V. JANAKI, who herself is a speech and hearing impaired woman hailing from the most marginalized family. She experienced the discrimination and stigma in the community towards the persons with Disabilities. The strong passion never let her to sleep and she started her career as an activist. On a survey she found at the ground level that there is no access to quality education especially for poor and the orphan who are very much deprived as there are less number of schools for such children which can be counted on fingers. This fact inspired her a lot and made her to establish a residential school for the Deaf (PHIN School) in Hyderabad of Telangana State. Her determination to do something to the children like her made her to grow upto the level of running a residential school for the PHIN students with a capacity of 160+ students and 1st of its kind for girls in Hyderabad of Telangana State.
