Girl who lost eyesight bags three gold medals

Lucknow: Sanjeeta Vishwakarma, a  visually impaired student, is set to get three  gold medals in different categories at the  Dr Shakuntala Misra National Rehabilitation University  convocation on Friday.
Before joining DSMNRU, Sanjeeta  had vision in one eye and was enrolled in Saltanat Bahadur  Post Graduate College, Jaunpur. When she was  in BA second year, the vision in the only eye also got low,   and she had to leave the course midway.
"My dream to  complete higher education was shaken when, in the second  year of my BA course, I lost vision in both eyes.

I was going through the worst phase of my life after dropping out of graduation midway. Then I came to know about DSMNRU, where students like me are fulfilling their education dreams," said Sanjeeta.

She said, "I hail from   Jaunpur and come from a humble background. We are six  My father is not in any job . It was my brother and my younger  sister who worked hard to fulfil my education dreams."
I don't know how to use braille since I used to study with  normal students. Hence, when I joined DSMNRU, I began  converting notes in PDF to audio files and learned from them.  It was the internet, YouTube, audio files, and classroom  teaching that helped me score well." tnn
