Deaf and mute Gurdeep is creating history in class X examination

Anand Service Society, a non-governmental organization working for the disabled, has prepared Gurdeep for the exam by taking special classes.

Gurdeep Kaur Vasu is the most special among the thousands of candidates who are going to appear for the Class 10 board exams in Madhya Pradesh starting from March 1. This 32-year-old girl, who has a great passion for studies, can neither speak nor hear nor see, but she dreams of getting a good job by studying and writing like a common student.

District Education Officer (DEO) Manglesh Kumar Vyas said on Monday that Gurdeep Kaur Vasu (32), affected by different disabilities, has applied as a self-taught candidate to appear for the Class X board exams. “As per my knowledge, this is the first case in the history of the State Board of Secondary Education, when a candidate with speech, hearing and visual impairments will appear for the High School Certificate Examination,” he said.

Anand Service Society, an NGO working for the disabled in the city, has prepared Gurdeep for the exam by taking special classes. Monika Purohit, director of the organization and an expert in sign language, said, ‘Gurdeep communicates with a person in sign language by pressing his hands and fingers. We also have to press his hands and fingers according to this language to convey our message to Gurdeep.

When Gurdeep was asked through Purohit what she wanted to become after studying, she replied in her own unique language that after completing her studies, she wants to get a job related to computer work in an office. Purohit said that Gurdeep has chosen social science, English, painting and science subjects for his Class X exams.

Gurdeep’s younger sister Harpreet Kaur Vasu (26) is helping him prepare for the exam. Harpreet said, ‘Gurdeep is always insistent that he should sit with me at home and revise the lessons he has learned in the class with the help of Braille script. Seeing his yearning for education, I do my studies after his studies.
