A "Battery Cell Bank" has been set up for the Central School of the Deaf at Nagpada in Mumbai to ensure an uninterrupted supply of battery cells (pencil cells and button cells) used in hearing aids by the students. Most of the students belong to the weaker section of society, and cannot afford to bear the cost of cells for continuous use of their Hearing Aid. In the past, parents used to shut off the hearing aid of their child in order to conserve the battery cell, which greatly interfered in the progress of the child's rehabilitation. We are informed that the "Battery Cell Bank" has shown very positive results and hastened the process of bringing the students into the mainstream of society.
