Pursuing your dreams

One young man who connected with our helpdesk recently has a similar story of hope triumphing despair. Manish, a 22 year visually impaired student from Punjab had recently completed his B.Com.  He had an idea, a dream and a hope in his mind. He had always been interested in and had wanted to study law. However, he had a mental block regarding his capability to achieve this dream. He shared that he was very doubtful if he could ever get the opportunity to study law due to his visual impairment.  Our counselor assured Manish that there was no legal ground for him to be denied admission into a law programme just because of his visual impairment. We motivated him to apply for admission and to prepare well for the exams. After putting in a lot of effort into the preparation and application process, he recently shared with us an amazing piece of news. Manish finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a law student. He got admission into the prestigious Law Department at Punjab University and is currently studying there. We would like to thank our counselor Ankita Bhuteja of Navchetna for sharing this story.
