Second Chances Start Here

Tarun Kumar, a 31-year-old resident of Dwarka, Delhi, has turned his life around after years of uncertainty and isolation brought on by a degenerative eye condition. Diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) in 2017, Tarun gradually lost over 70% of his vision.

In 2003, he lost his father, who ran a water management and construction business. Thrust into adulthood early, Tarun had to leave his education to take care of the family business. Adding to his burdens, RP wasn’t just his own condition; his mother, brother, and sister also have RP.

Though he was born with low vision, he remained unaware of the extent of his visual impairment during his early years. He attended mainstream school, joining his peers in daily activities and managing classroom challenges with quiet determination—sitting on the front bench, squinting to read the blackboard, and pushing forward despite the difficulties.
