Degree college for hearing-impaired students to open in Bapatla

The Government of Andhra Pradesh plans to establish a Government Degree College for hearing-impaired students in Bapatla, beginning from the 2026-27 academic year. The school, founded in 1987, has previously provided education to 215 students, currently housed in a residential setting. Initially offering Intermediate courses, the institution has maintained a 100% pass rate in SSC and Intermediate examinations since 1999.

Former students have demonstrated their potential by securing jobs in government departments and private companies like D-Mart, Flipkart, and Amazon. Enrolling 30 students in B.Com. (Computer Applications) and Artificial Intelligence certification courses, the new college aims to fill the void left by the lack of a government degree college for hearing-impaired individuals.

Students are also trained in computer applications, various trades, and sports, with aspirations to represent India in national and international competitions.
