Krishnamaya Adhikari, born in 1983 in Morang, Nepal, lost her hearing at age seven due to typhoid, and later became deafblind. Despite these challenges, she completed higher education without sign language support. Her life changed when she joined the Koshi Association of the Deaf (KoAD) and became a board member and Vice President. After joining the Deafblind Association Nepal (DAN), she received training in tactile communication, haptic signals, and Braille. She has represented Nepal internationally at the UNCRPD-SDG training, Bridge CRPD-SDG Modules in Geneva and the World Urban Forum 2024 in Egypt. Currently, as President of DAN’s Morang Chapter, she advocates for inclusive policies and the empowerment of persons with disabilities.
