| Blind Kashmiri Youth qualifies CBSE exam | | | Saahil Suhail
Early Times Report
Anantnag, June 1: Fighting against all odds, a visually impaired Kashmiri Youth has cleared CBSE class 10 examination with flying colours.
Yasir Ahmad Khan, a resident of Hakoora village of Anantnag district, who lost his eyesight at a very young age, has scored 68% marks. He had appeared in the examination through open schooling.
Talking to Early Times, Yasir said that he lost his eye sight completely in 2014 during month of Ramadhan after suffering from retinal detachment.
"After losing eye sight I left school, but in 2017 someone told me to contact a local NGO-Zepa Appa. Javid Ahmad Tak , who is running this NGO, enrolled me and gave me brail training," Yasir said.
He said that it was actually Javid who came to his rescue and made him believe that the accident must not let his lose his confidence and urged him to fight the battle and emerge victorious.
"He even made my entry in an institution meant for visually impaired people at Dehradun" says Yasir.
"I left my mother alone at home and went to Dehradun for further training and then appeared in the annual examination this year and passed it with 68% marks," he said.
Yasir, whose father was murdered a few years ago, wants Jammu and Kashmir government to open educational institutes for visually impaired youth especially for those who lost their eye sight due to pellets in 2016 or before that.
"I want to continue my education but I don't have enough resources and also I can't leave my mother at home alone. Therefore I want this government to open schools for people like me because the number has gone up due to pellets," he says while narrating how difficult it was for him to travel to Dehradun for pursing training and education.
Yasir says he wants to become an inspiration for all those who are visually impaired in the state but without government help it seems to him is 'impossible'.
The CBSE had recently announced results for 10th and 12 classes. |
