Mr. Ramesh Prasad Dahal, son of Mr. Govinda Prasad Dahal was born on 28/1/2026 (1969) at Ramkot, Nepal and now he lives in Ghathatar, with his wife and two sons. A highly skilled person on technical sector of engineering is a well contributor to the development of science and technology for the Blinds to the country (Nepal) through his knowledge and ability despite his physical disability (blind). He has made lots of inventions to his credits like Vacuum Pump, Ladder Ramp, Earthquake Indicator, Shoe Cleaner, Wheat Thresher, Mobile Toilet, R.P.D System, Money Scale, Drawing Board, Incinerator, Shaking Bed, Air Pressure Engine, Air Pollution Controller Fan and Sensitive Window Closure.
Mr Dahal was not blind by birth. The problem with his eyesight began when he was studying in Intermediate of Science. Before facing the problem, he worked as a Khardar (a non gazette officer) at Dept. of Archeology. Then he worked as a teacher in Cageshowri Boarding School in Jorpati. During that time his eye problem was growing toward losing his eyesight and had to leave his job. He then started the retail shop to use his time. Because of the problem the frustration was growing which further led him to depression. But that was not the end of the road for him, his will power made him come through this difficult phase of his life. His inner strength lifted him to do something for the people facing the similar disabilities. He then joined as a Secretary of Nepal Association of Blind in 2053 B.S.
One of the incidents inspiring him to invent things are that one day he was trying to hold someone's hand to cross the road at Bhadrakali but by mistake his hand landed to that person’s pocket and the man shouted at him thinking he was trying to pick pocket. After that incident, he felt he had to be independent and came to invent the traffic light indicator for the blind. He made the traffic light indicator by funding his own money (profit from his shop). This is just one example of his noble deeds. Due to blindness he had to leave his shop in 2060 B.S. But he is continuing to give effort to his creations. To do his creative works, he also took the patent right from ministry of Industry for his inventions. But lack of financial support has placed his ideas and creations limited to sketch.
He has achieved many awards and certificate of appreciation from various organizations for his innovative and creative works. As per his words “he wants to continue serving the nation despite his physical disability and create more useful inventions for the disabled people. If found a financial support he also wants to make all his ideas brought into reality.”
Mr. Dahal a highly skilled person has become an example of inspiration to our society and the whole nation.
