WEST Program (Women Empowerment through Sign language and Technology)
In 2023, Unisys partnered with Ashray Akruti to train 50 women from underprivileged families to work as sign language interpreters with hearing-impaired communities. As a result, this program helps to create job opportunities, builds relationships for the deaf community, and creates awareness of Indian sign language.
