I am Apoorv Om, a Deaf, 23 years old, an Artist, a student of B.Arch at School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), New Delhi, Innovator of hanging 2D/ 3D models of buildings and creative artwork and a certified yoga trainer. I got special Honors from UN Leaders and Govt. of India personalities. I am also the recipient of National Award for Persons with Disabilities, 2017 in Role Model category; National Gaurav Awards’17; National Education Leadership Awards the Asia Pacific Higher Education Summit’18, And the Global First Ever ‘Deaf’ Youth as peace leader (India) in 2nd international Volunteering conference of UNESCO. It is a long story before my identity became the one of its kind as an artist, volunteer and disability rights activist. My disabilities such as being deaf, speech impairment, retinitis pigmentosa and an eye disorder had presented insurmountable challenges and I continue to struggle to lead a normal life despite many achievements. I have not allowed hearing impediment & visual impairment to dampen my championing of UN as a global platform for an inclusive society.
