Not allowing blindness to come in the way
Twenty-six-year-old Sumitra S lives in Bangalore, Karnataka. When she was 3, she lost her eyesight after developing a high fever. Her parents consulted several doctors, but her vision could not be restored at the time.
Sumitra was sent to a mainstream school irrespective of the sight loss. She sat in the classroom studying alongside other kids. Her teachers and parents read out notes and books to Sumitra, so she could keep up. She had to take help from a scribe to write her exams.
