Twenty-three-year-old Purushottam Kumar was born blind to a middle-class family in Bihar. His parents enrolled him in a special school from an early age where he grew up reading and writing in the Braille script. When he applied to move to a mainstream school after Class 8, he was denied admission on grounds of disability.
He lodged a complaint with the grievance cell in the district and the school was instructed to admit him. He scored exceedingly well in Class X and XII, forcing his school principal to alter his misconceived views about the ability of blind students.
