00:00Many years ago, there was a very first time in Bhairat in the US.
00:05Every morning in Bihar's Shekpura, a blind teacher walks 4km to the Urdu Primary School in Charihaji village
00:13with a cane in hand and resolve in his heart.
00:16He has spent two decades lighting up young minds.
00:22I can't see the road but I know where I have to reach.
00:25My destination has always been my school and my students.
00:30Ramashish lost his eyesight when he was just 6 years old.
00:37I was told my eyes got infected after bathing in dirty water.
00:42Treatment did not come in time but my family never allowed me to lose hope.
00:48From Patna to Varanasi and later Delhi, Ramashish pursued his education with unwavering determination.
00:54In 2006, he joined Bihar's education department and since then, teaching has not been just a profession for him. It
01:03has been a mission.
01:22His colleagues say Ramashish brings a special energy to the classroom. His methods are innovative, his patience unmatched and his
01:30commitment absolute.
01:36He studies using Braili and explains everything so clearly. Students enjoy learning in his class. His dedication motivates all of
01:48us.
01:48Yet Ramashish carries a concern close to his heart. Bihar has only a handful of schools for visually impaired students.
01:56He believes countless children are still waiting for opportunities that should already exist.
02:06The government must establish at least one school for visually impaired children in every district. Temporary efforts are not enough.
02:15Permanent change is needed.
02:17But until that day comes, Ramashish will keep working. Because for him, education is not limited by site infrastructure or
02:25circumstances. It is powered by Resolve.
02:28I want to use radio and communications.
02:30It was!ießenku
