Hello everyone . I am Somya Thakur , Miss Wheelchair World India 2022 . I am a wheelchair model , disabled activist , motivational speaker and HR professional . I am also the director of the Positive Abilities Rotaract Club . I was born in Himachal Pradesh , Solan , a small town , and have lived in Chandigarh Mohali for more than 20 years . I love to travel , cook , and explore new things , people and places . I love to create fashion trends and aspire to one day have a career within the fashion world .
I am passionate about life and take on any challenge that comes my way . I believe that what life throws at me will only make me stronger , wiser and more refined . I am a determined woman that looks to the brighter side of life . I ’ m inclined to look for solutions to problems rather than worrying about them and believe every person possesses an unaware ability within .
At 11 days old , I accidentally slipped from the hands of a caretaker . This resulted in a fracture of my right thigh . Unfortunately , the bone couldn ’ t be corrected and while the doctor tried to fix the break , he ended up stretching my leg so hard that it resulted in a dislocated hip . Further treatment brought the fracturing of my leg an additional three times .
Due to a lack of movement during my childhood , my muscles were unable to develop properly leaving me unable to stand or walk . Adjusting to this and the different challenges it brought , was difficult for both myself and my parents . My family gave me strength and helped me to educate myself like any other child . Education
