Early life
Dudeja was born on 29 August 1995 into a Punjabi family in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
Nishtha was born with a severe to profound hearing deficiency in both the ears. However, her parents only realised it when she was 3 years old, due to lack of adequate medical facilities in Guwahati where her father was posted at that time. It was only after a BERA test was conducted on her at AIIMS, Delhi in 1998 that it was known to them about her being born with a hearing loss. She started using hearing aids and taking speech therapy lessons. On the advice of her speech therapist, she was sent to a normal school.
Nishtha stood first in Hindi and Second in English in Ambience Public School, by scoring 93% marks in both the subjects, in her 12th Board's exam.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nishtha Dudeja” as miss Deaf Asia 2018. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as miss Deaf Asia 2018. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q64582558. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2018 and 1998.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
