Saharanpur (Uttar Pradesh): Privilege leaves us blind to how difficult things are for those who aren't as fortunate as we are. But it's people like Begram, who push the boundaries and set a yardstick to achieve the impossible.
Begram, a college professor, was 2.5 years old when he lost his vision due to some genetic disorder.
However, he did not let the impairment come in the way of his dreams and completed his education from Delhi. After that, there was no stopping him and currently, he works as an Assistant Professor in the Saharanpur Women's College. He has been teaching here since 2007.
Talking about him, the Principal of the Saharanpur Women's College, Neetu Yadav said that his persona is such that it becomes tough to believe that he is impaired by any means.
"The way he presents himself is remarkable. He is always well dressed, hair neatly combed and he is always very punctual to the college...I mean he is so perfect that it's hard to believe that he is visually impaired. He is definitely an inspiration for all of us," said Yadav.
Begram further said that his journey was definitely not smooth and had to struggle at various steps.
"My father admitted me to a blind school in Delhi. After completing my education I got selected through the state public service commission and have been teaching here since 2007. I always try to teach students in the simplest of language and rectify their all problems," said Begram.
Begram has certainly proved that 'where there is a will, there is a way'. People like him are definitely setting an example in the society.
