Anju Khemani is the founder of the Drama Association of the Deaf (DAD). Her work has been a synthesis of sensitizing organizations and communities towards inclusion, developing content for training and capacity building of trainers, young adults with disabilities, and HIV-affected women and men. Her course material for training youth with disabilities is translated into many languages and used across India. DAD was an outcome of her theatre course at the National School of Drama, and extensive work with the Deaf community. DAD seeks to promote self-identity in a multicultural society by fostering a sense of belonging in one’s own culture, and respect for other cultures.
