our motivations

As the new campus is beyond the city limits,3 new buses donated by ONGC, Kotch Glitch and State Bank of India transport the students, trainees and staff. This has added to the costs. For 28 years the children have paid less than 50% for transport.

In 30 years no student has paid what it costs Akshar for their education. There is no funding provided, till date, by the Govt. of Gujarat. Donations to the Trust are exempted under section 80-G of Income Tax Act 1961. No hearing-impaired child is refused admission and children with problems additional to deafness are also admitted.

Board exam- year 2022

10 students of Std.10 and Std.12 cleared the Gujarat State Board Exams 2022.
