Short Bio
Born in 1982, Mohan was afflicted with lameness from polio at the age of 2. After his diagnosis of leprosy, however, what slowed him down were not his physical difficulties, but the discrimination he faced from family, relatives, friends, and society. Worried about his future, he hid his disease from his loved ones for a long time. After a time of struggle and difficulty, Mohan has turned his life around and now working as a Technical Supporting Officer in APAL (Association of People Affected by Leprosy) and residing in the mainstream society in Hyderabad. He got married to a girl named Ms Sathya, who is also affected by leprosy. Today, Mohan travels as an advocate for zero discrimination and dedicates his life to helping improve the mental well-being of persons affected by leprosy.
