Professor, Indian Computer Scientist & Digital Diplomacy Observer

My battle defines me, not your attempt to break me. When you see my scars, tears will cloud your vision. - Dr. DP Sharma

“Let’s take a look at his saga in his own words: “Education has never been a priority in the community and place where I spent my early struggling years. Survival was very difficult due to the lack of resources and financial support my father had. It was very difficult for me to convince my parents and elders about my educational pursuits. However, I showed promise in my career and became self-sufficient through a small scholarship and tuition money to continue my education.

A Life Shaped by Resilience: A Biography

Born on May 1st, 1969, in the small village of Samona, nestled within the Chambal River Ravines of eastern Rajasthan, India, my earliest memories are etched with the harsh realities of poverty and a life on the fringes. My parents, underprivileged farmers, struggled to make ends meet, and education was a distant dream in our community.

Tragedy struck at the tender age of five when I contracted polio. The lack of resources and financial means meant I couldn’t access proper medication, leaving me with permanent disability in my left arm and right leg.

Despite these hardships, a flicker of determination ignited within me. While Samona only offered primary education, a thirst for knowledge burned bright.  Every day, I undertook a grueling 18-kilometer journey (9 km each way!) on rough rural tracks, determined to reach the small town of Rajakhera for my secondary education (6th to 11th grade). The adversity only fueled my spirit, and I consistently secured the top position in my classes.

Being the second-youngest of eight siblings, none of whom had the opportunity to reach high school, I felt a responsibility to break the cycle. My dedication paid off, allowing me to pursue higher studies. The path wasn’t easy. Funding was a constant battle, but scholarships (RRMI Merit Scholarship, Disability Scholarship) and self-earned tuition money became my lifelines.

My academic journey took me from a B.Sc. in 1990 to an M.Tech. in 2006, punctuated by an MCA (1995) and a Ph.D. in 2008. My thirst for knowledge extended beyond India, leading me to pursue certifications like DB2 and WSAD from IBM-USA. International fellowships from prestigious institutions like IACSIT-Singapore and FSFE-Germany further enriched my academic pursuits.

This is more than a list of accomplishments; it’s a testament to the unwavering spirit that propelled me. Each step was a victory against adversity, a testament to the transformative power of education. My story is a beacon of hope, a message that even amidst the harshest realities, the will to learn and grow can illuminate the path to a brighter future.

एक किसान के बेटे डॉ डी पी शर्मा का जन्म 1 मई, 1969 को पूर्वी राजस्थान के चंबल नदी के बीहड़ों (आमतौर पर डकैतों से प्रभावित चम्बल भरिका क्षेत्र) में स्थित एक छोटे से गाँव समोना में हुआ था। वह पांच भाइयों और तीन बहनों में दूसरे नंबर पर सबसे छोटे थे। जन्म के समय वह सामान्य और स्वस्थ थे, लेकिन 5 साल की उम्र में उन्हें अचानक बुखार आया और उनका बायां हाथ और दाहिना पैर हमेशा के लिए पोलियोग्रस्त हो गया।
उन्हें उचित इलाज नहीं मिल सका क्योंकि परिवार न तो इसका खर्च उठाने में सक्षम था और न ही इसका इलाज उस वक्त उपलब्ध था । प्रो. शर्मा के पैतृक गाँव में केवल एक ही प्राथमिक विद्यालय था; इसलिए, अपनी प्राथमिक शिक्षा पूरी करने के बाद, वह केवल माध्यमिक और उच्च माध्यमिक स्तर की स्कूली शिक्षा प्राप्त करने के लिए अपने गाँव से राजाखेड़ा नामक छोटे कस्वे तक और वापस आने के लिए हर दिन उबड़-खाबड़ रास्तों पर 18 किमी की लंबी दूरी तय करते थे। एक प्रतिभाशाली छात्र होने के नाते, उन्होंने स्कूल स्तर की कक्षाओं में टॉप किया और दो छात्रवृत्तियाँ प्राप्त कीं: (1) आरआरएमआई (रीडर्स रिसर्च मॉडर्न इंस्टीट्यूट) फाउंडेशन से आरआरएमआई मेरिट छात्रवृत्ति, और (2) राजस्थान सरकार से दिव्यांगता छात्रवृत्ति। उनकी शिक्षा प्राप्ति में एक और चुनौती परिवार और गाँव का प्रतिकूल माहौल था। वह पांच भाइयों और तीन बहनों में सातवें नंबर पर थे। पांच भाई और तीन बहनों में से कोई भी हाई स्कूल पास नहीं था। चूँकि उनके गाँव और परिवार का माहौल प्रतिकूल था, इसलिए उनके लिए उच्च शिक्षा प्राप्त करना कठिन कार्य था, लेकिन अपनी दृढ़ इच्छाशक्ति और दृढ़ संकल्प के कारण, वे उच्च शिक्षा प्राप्त करने में आने वाली सभी चुनौतियों को पार करने में सफल रहे। इस प्रकार, छात्रवृत्ति की एक छोटी राशि उनके लिए अपनी शिक्षा जारी रखना संभव बना सकी । स्कूली शिक्षा के बाद, उन्होंने अपनी डिग्री स्तर की शिक्षा (बी.एससी.) जारी रखी। पीजी कॉलेज धौलपुर, और फिर उन्हें राजस्थान विश्वविद्यालय, जयपुर में एमसीए में प्रवेश मिल गया। एमसीए के बाद उन्होंने एम.टेक की पढ़ाई पूरी की सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी में और फिर इंट्रानेटवेयर्स में पीएचडी। उन्होंने आईबीएम (यूएसए) जैसे विश्व संस्थानों से कई प्रमाणपत्र प्राप्त किए और सिंगापुर और जर्मनी से फेलोशिप हासिल की। यह 1994 था जब उनकी मुलाकात गुड़गांव, हरियाणा के एक प्रसिद्ध कार्यकर्ता श्री प्रवीण बहल से हुई। वह दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के अधिकारों के लिए राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर संघर्ष कर रहे थे, साथ ही दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के कल्याण में शामिल गैर सरकारी संगठनों द्वारा किए गए विभिन्न घोटालों का खुलासा कर रहे थे। प्रोफेसर शर्मा उनके संगठन, IHWA में शामिल हो गए, जिसे बाद में भारतीय दिव्यांग कल्याण संस्थान (IHWI) के नए नाम के तहत राजस्थान राज्य इकाई के साथ पंजीकृत किया गया। तब से, वह दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों को उनकी शिक्षा, प्रशिक्षण और पुनर्वास के लिए लगातार स्वैच्छिक सेवाएं प्रदान कर रहे हैं ताकि उन्हें सम्मान के साथ समाज में जीने का हक़ दिलवाया जा सके। 1994 में, प्रो. शर्मा एक राष्ट्रीय एडवोकेसी अभियान का हिस्सा बन गए जो भारत में एक नए दिव्यांगता अध्यादेश के मसौदे के लिए संघर्ष कर रहा था। लंबे संघर्ष के बाद, उन्होंने इसे एक नए कानून, दिव्यांग व्यक्ति (समान अवसर, अधिकारों की सुरक्षा और पूर्ण भागीदारी) अधिनियम 1995 के रूप में पारित कराया, लेकिन दुर्भाग्य से इसे ठीक से लागू नहीं किया जा सका। वर्ष 1999 में, उन्होंने पीडब्ल्यूडी अधिनियम 1995 के तहत दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के अधिकार संरक्षण लिए एक राज्य आयुक्त की नियुक्ति के लिए राजस्थान के मुख्यमंत्री को एक पत्र लिखा और सरकार को चेतावनी दी कि यदि उनका अनुरोध स्वीकार नहीं किया गया तो वह अपने मित्रों के साथ भूख हड़ताल पर चले जायेंगे। इसके बाद तत्कालीन मुख्यमंत्री के सचिव, श्री सी.के. मैथ्यू, आईएएस, ने मुद्दों को हल करने के लिए उनके प्रतिनिधिमंडल के साथ बातचीत शुरू की। परिणामस्वरूप, श्री दामोदर थानवी, जो एक सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता थे, को भारत में पहली बार राजस्थान राज्य में दिव्यांग व्यक्तियों के कानूनों को लागू करने लिए आयुक्त के रूप में नियुक्त किया गया था। उन्होंने राज्य में दिव्यांग लोगों उपयुक्त अधिकारों के लिए भी लड़ाई लड़ी। उन्होंने दिव्यांग लोगों की रोजमर्रा की शिकायतों, चुनौतियों और जीवन में आने वाली बाधाओं को सुनने और उनके समाधान के लिए सरकारी और गैर-सरकारी एजेंसियों से संघर्ष करने के लिए जन अदालत (सार्वजनिक अदालत) का आयोजन भी किया। उन्होंने सरकार को दिव्यांगों के लिए सरकारी संगठनों में ए और बी-ग्रेड सेवाओं एंट्री का प्रावधान करने के लिए मजबूर किया। उन्होंने पुरजोर दलील दी कि जब हृदय, फेफड़े या अन्य शारीरिक दिव्यांगता से ग्रस्त व्यक्ति को संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका की तरह भारत और विदेशों में राष्ट्रपति, प्रधान मंत्री और मंत्री के रूप में चुना जा सकता है, तो बाहरी रूप से दिव्यांग व्यक्ति को उच्च पदों पर क्यों नहीं ? क्या किसी व्यक्ति की दिव्यांगता उसकी कार्य निष्पादन की क्षमता में अनिवार्य रूप से बाधक है ? सौभाग्य से, उनके प्रयासों से राष्ट्रीय और राज्य स्तर पर उच्च सरकारी सेवाओं में कुछ छूट मिली, लेकिन अभी भी समस्या पूरी तरह से हल नहीं हुई है। प्रोफेसर शर्मा ने केशव राय पाटन में भगवान केशव तीर्थ क्षेत्र के प्रमुख महंत पूज्य श्री पंडित जमना लाल शर्मा जी के सहयोग एवं आशीर्वाद से बालिका शिक्षा के लिए पाटन गर्ल्स कॉलेज नामक प्रकल्प की शुरुआत की जिसमें उनकी पत्नी प्रोफ अनुरागा शर्मा एवं उनके भ्राता दीपक शर्मा द्वारा दिव्यांग बालिकाओं को डिग्री एवं स्नातकोत्तर स्तर की शिक्षा पूरी तरह निशुल्क दी जाती है /

Prof. Sharma has been providing online voluntary support and services to the NGOs working for the education and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities in India for a long time. He has supervised and guided several small self-help group projects, designed by him, under United Nations Voluntary Service programmes.

Afterwards, he supports the mission of organizing matrimonial meetings to encourage such kinds of even-odd marriages in society. For a long time in the month of July, a national matrimonial meet for persons with disabilities in Jaipur was organized jointly by Mr. Manoj Bhardwaj and him under the banner of Nupur Sansthan. He also promoted the manufacturing of assistive tools and the development of technologies that make the physically disabled an efficient and dignified member of society. Even today, his mission is to create an environment where disabled people can get the rights to equal opportunities and livelihoods with dignity. On several occasions, he took risks and fought for the judicious rights of people with disabilities. He fought against corruption in national cricket for people with disabilities. He exposed scams in cricket and other welfare schemes for people with disabilities in India.  In his own life, he has experienced difficulties that particularly disabled people face while studying, and therefore, he wants to help them overcome such challenges. He strongly believes that a career with the support of assistive tools and technologies, such as Information and Communications, can give them better dignified life of social and economic self-sufficiency. His dream was to launch a special education and rehabilitation university in Rajasthan so that persons with disabilities can be educated, trained, and utilized as a potential and productive human resource in the country. Some of the brief social activities are as follows:

  • To transform this dream into reality, he initiated a project for a disabled university in Rajasthan with the support of the Additional Chief Secretary, Mr. JC Mohanty (IAS). 
  • Social audit of the Jaipur city buildings to make it a disabled-friendly city (2001–2004)
  • Mobilize the accessibility activities at railway stations to provide wheelchairs and other support systems for persons with disabilities (1999 & 2013)

  • Developed the Job search engine for Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, government of India for searching jobs based on suitability parameters of  persons with disabilities (2005)
  • Actively participated in drafting “The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol (A/RES/61/106)”, which was adopted on December 13, 2006 (2006)
  • Providing online voluntary support and services to the NGOs working for the education and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities in India & abroad (2004–2020)
  • He had guided several small self-help group projects, designed by him, under several schemes and supported United Nations Voluntary Service programmes (2009–2013)
  • Supported Jaipur Cycle Marathon on world heart day and played a leading role in it (2013, 2014, 2015)
  • Supported a Courier service by Nupur Sansthan for persons with disabilities and their employment and rehabilitation
  • Supported a cycle race for persons with disabilities every year under the banner of SVS Jaipur (2005–2015)
  • He initiated providing free telephone booths to needy and disabled, provided by different telecom companies in Rajasthan like Tata Tele Services, Airtel and BSNL

Prof. Sharma, the son of a small farmer, was born on May 1, 1969, in Samona, a small village situated in the Chambal River Ravines (a typically Dacoit-infested area) of eastern Rajasthan. He was the second youngest of five brothers and three sisters. By birth, he was normal and healthy, but at the age of 5, he suffered from a fever and got paralysed in his left arm and right leg forever due to an injection of some medicine given to him. He could not get proper treatment as the family could not afford it.

In the native village of Prof. Sharma, there was only one primary school; therefore, after completing his primary education, he used to travel a long distance of 18 km on rough tracks every day from his village to the small town of Rajakhera and back to get only a middle- and secondary-level school education. Being a brilliant scholar, he topped the school-level classes and got two scholarships: (1) the RRMI Merit Scholarship from the RRMI (Readers Research Modern Institute) Foundation, and (2) the Disability Scholarship from the government of Rajasthan. Another challenge to his educational pursuit was the unfavorable atmosphere of the family and village. He was seventh among five brothers and three sisters. None of them had even a high school pass among five brothers and three sisters. Since the atmosphere of his village and family was unfavourable, it was difficult for him to pursue higher educational pursuits, but due to his strong willpower and determination, he could overcome all challenges coming his way in acquiring higher education. Thus, a small amount of the scholarship could make it possible for him to continue his education. After schooling, he continued his degree level education (B.Sc.) at Govt. PG College Dhoplur, and then he took admission in MCA at the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur. After his MCA, he completed his M.Tech. in Information Technology and then his PhD in Intranetwares. He received several certifications from world institutions like IBM (USA) and won fellowships from Singapore and Germany.

It was 1994 when he met a renowned activist, Mr. Praven Bahal of Gurgaon, Haryana. He was struggling at the national level for the rights of persons with disabilities, along with disclosing various scams by NGOs involved in the welfare of persons with disabilities. Prof. Sharma joined his organization, IHWA, later registered with the Rajasthan state unit under the new name of Indian Handicapped Welfare Institution (IHWI). Since then, he has been consistently providing voluntary services to persons with disabilities for their education, training, and rehabilitation to settle them well in society with dignity.

In 1994, Prof. Sharma became part of a national advocacy campaign that was struggling for a new draft disability ordinance in India. After a long struggle, he got it passed as a new law, “The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights, and Full Participation) Act 1995,” but unfortunately it was not implemented with sensible mindsets. In the year 1999, he wrote a letter to the Chief Minister of Rajasthan for the appointment of a Commissioner for persons with disabilities under the PWDs Act 1995, and warned the government that he would go on hunger strike along with his friend activists if his judicious request was not accepted. After two weeks’ time, the Chief Minister’ secretary, Mr. C. K. Mathew, IAS, initiated the talks with the delegation to resolve the issues. Consequently, Mr. Damodar Thanvi, who was a social activist, was appointed as a Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities in the state of Rajasthan for the first time in India. He also fought for a Beneficiary Master Card for the disabled people in the state. He organized JAN ADALAT (public courts) to listen to the day-to-day complaints, challenges, and barriers in the lives of disabled people and plead with government and non-government agencies for their solutions. He forced the government to make provisions for A and B grade services in government organizations for the disabled. He strongly pleaded that when a man with a physical disability like a heart, lungs, and other problems can be elected as the President, Prime Minister, and Ministers in India and abroad, like in the USA, then why not the person with an external disability? Fortunately, his efforts yielded some relaxations in government jobs at national and state levels, but still, the problem is not fully solved.

Prof. Sharma, with the support of his father-in-law, Pandit Jamna Lal Sharma, initiated the founding of a Patan Girls College at Keshav Rai Patan, district Bundi, Rajasthan, India, run by his wife, Mrs. Anurag Sharma, and Mr. Deepak Sharma, who is dedicated to providing free education to the poor and disabled girls in rural areas. Prof. Sharma has been providing online voluntary support and services to the NGOs working for the education and rehabilitation of persons with disabilities in India for a long time. He has supervised and guided several small self-help group projects, designed by him, under United Nations Voluntary Service programmes.

Afterwards, he supports the mission of organizing matrimonial meetings to encourage such kinds of even-odd marriages in society.

"Dear Sir/Madam, It is my privilege to write on behalf of Dr. Durga Prasad Sharma, as he not only a person of unparalleled intellect but also a role model for others to look upon. Recipient of numerous awards and honored by eminent dignitaries around the globe, Dr. Sharma is an image of resolution, dedication, passion, and spirit to achieve excellence in every task at hand. Publications authored by him truly justify the span of his penmanship. From academic to quintessential philosophy, the words of Dr. Sharma educate students and stir the notions of his peers with the great bearing of their own. As agreed by anyone to everyone, one thing that is unarguably the strongest trait for which Dr. Sharma is adored is his humbleness. His achievements and accolades have only brought the best in him as a human being who is ever striving even harder to question his own limits with a poise to deter mountains. For a person who has contributed so much to our society, it will only be prudent of us to acknowledge his efforts and show our appreciation. I wish him all the very best of moments in his future life and pray to God to endow him all his graces for being an excellent human being. I hope that the aforementioned facts will be of assistance to you and I will be happy to provide further information if required. Thank you. With regards, Yours faithfully,"
