“It was a difficult ride in the starting, but slowly and steadily everything became normal. My college and my friends helped me a lot. The Internet helped me a lot. I faced a lot of challenges but also received support from other people. Visually impaired people who feel helpless should understand that every field is not for everyone, instead, they should give their 100 per cent where they could,” Yash told ANI.

Yash’s Father, Yashpal is a normal canteen owner in Indore, he told ANI, ” It has been a struggle, but if we fight it out then struggle seems small. It was difficult sending Yash to a normal school and college but we always searched distinct teachers for yash which paid off.” “I have studied till High school and it was beyond my imagination that my son will be offered a job from Microsoft. Though, I was confident he will become a software engineer. My son is my Pride and today he has proved himself”, Yashpal told ANI.
