About Us
The National Convention of Educators of the Deaf – India (NCED–India) is a national association of special educators, teacher educators, and allied professionals dedicated to improving education for children with hearing impairments.
Established in 1935 as the Convention of the Teachers of the Deaf (CTDI), it became a registered society in 1995.
With its Head Office at Ali Yavar Jung National Institute for the Hearing Handicapped, Mumbai, NCED–India operates through state chapters that regularly hold meetings and conferences addressing regional educational issues.
Its mission is to:
- Empower teachers
- Disseminate the best and evidence-based practices
- Organize annual conferences across India

The Backdrop
NCED–India, through its state chapters, organizes an international conference every year.
These conferences:
- Reflect the latest developments in the rehabilitation and education sectors
- Feature eminent national and international resource persons
- Are supported by state and central government bodies such as AYJNISHD (D)
- Are recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) for CRE (Continuing Rehabilitation Education) points
Each conference attracts over 400 special educators and allied professionals, including speech and hearing experts, mainstream teachers, psychologists, and ISL interpreters.
