making the disabled self dependent. We have educated them to be part of
the nation building. We have organised nation wide educational tours,
given industrial training, made them tech and computer savvy, and
generated awareness regarding government fundings and other initiatives
for self employment. We have contributed substantially towards
providing employment and rehabilitation to them.

Goonge Beharon Ka Vidyalaya or simply GBKV is a
testimony to our founder, Mr. Devi Sharan Mishra's commitment towards
the cause of children with disabilities, particularly deaf and dumb
children. Although an ordinary person, Mr. Devi Sharan Mishra was
driven by an extraordinary dream - the dream that no child with
physical disability would be deprived of his/her basic rights like
survival, participation, protection and development.
The foundation of GBKV was laid during the year 1954, when Mr. Devi
Sharan Mishra, son of Mr. Jhaulal Mishra came to Kanpur. He used to
teach students for a living when he came face to face with the
deprivation of deaf and dumb children. Moved by their condition, he
took this as a challenge and vowed to work for them. For this purpose,
he took a small room on rent although he had no regular source of
income and even had no financial aid and help from any quarter.
But that didn't deter him from his mission. He took a 'Tonga' and used
it to bring deaf and dumb children to the school, teach them and then
drop them back home. During the time the same 'Tonga' was the only
source of his living and he faced immense hardship in making both ends
meet.
With the never give-up attitude, Mr. Devi Sharan Mishra stands for his
mission for the well-being of deaf and dumb. He sowed the seeds of
inspiration 52 years back and today it has turned into a huge tree
which is serving a large number of deaf and dumb students and has
proved to be a great help for the state.
Today, the organization, having all the basic amenities, provide
quality education, professional training and hostel facility to the
students.
As a result of untiring and continuous efforts of Mr. Devi Sharan
Mishra, there are around 450 students at present that are receiving
quality education. The former students of the school have got
employment in government sector like Ordinance, Parachute, Air Force,
Railways, Postal Department, Gun factory, Elmico, Small Arms, Municipal
corporation as also in semi-government and private sector. These
students are self- dependent and are contributing a lot towards their
families and society.
Mr. Mishra is a missionary, who believes in working silently, has
contributed a lot to the society. Hence, we urge you to pledge his name
for the President's Award for the outstanding services rendered by him
for the development of physically challenged. children.
We, at GBKV,
realize that deaf and dumb people have the right to choose their own
way to live their life. Hence, we put all our efforts to make these
people capable enough to not only stand on their own and lead a life
like any normal person.
In addition, our mission is to instill confidence in them so that they
just can not remain the subjects of sympathy. We also aim to bring them
to the mainstream and contribute towards their family and society at
large.
Although, some of our students are settled having their own families, a
lot, still needs to be done. And we continue to be in the service of
deaf and dumb.
In the past 52 years, the school has witnesses
several success stories that was created due to the sheer efforts of
Mr. Devi Sharan Mishra and his associate staff. From a long period of
time in conservative Indian society, it was felt that deaf and dumb
people were incapable of being taught. But, due to the dedicated
efforts of GBKS, these people become grace for the society. When deaf
and dumb people matches their march with the aspirations of Mr. Devi
Sharan Mishra, they have been excelling well not only in the field of
education and profession but also in games and sports and become a
source of inspiration by winning honour for the country.
A student of GBKV, Mohammad Shahabuddin, is studying in the
school since his K.G. class. He had participated in second Deaf Cricket
World Cup, 2005. In a match against England held at K.D. Singh Babu
Stadium, Lucknow, his performance was commendable and India had
recorded victory by 79 runs.
This story inspires us determination and hard-working put all the
obstacle aside that come across in the progress of life or become
hindrance in achieving the goal of life. Today, GBKV students are
playing an important role in preserving the proud of nation and in the
growth of the country. All these dreams come true due to the efforts of
Mr. Devi Sharan Mishra and Mrs. Ram Sakhi Mishra.
