Provision of Sign Language Support in Government Training Programs
Issuing Authority: Department of Personnel & Training (Training Wing), Government of India.
Date: 22nd May, 2026.
Executive Summary
The Department of Personnel & Training has issued an official memorandum directing all Central Training Institutes (CTIs), State/UT Administrative Training Institutes (ATIs), and other Government Training Institutes to accommodate employees with hearing impairments. Specifically, these institutes must ensure the availability of reasonable accommodation and communication support, which includes providing sign language interpreters wherever required.
This mandate stems from a representation submitted by the All India Central Government Deaf Employees' Association (AICGDEA) and aligns with an order from the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities (CCPD). To ensure full compliance, the directed institutes are requested to widely publicize this provision across all their regional, district, and subsidiary centers.
