September 23 is a golden day in Indian military history when the Indian Army decisively won the 1965 war turning the defensive position into an offensive stance and hunting the hunters mercilessly.

The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
