In the tribal region of Orissa, Bhagirathi Bal’s life had always been a testament to resilience and determination. He hailed from a humble background, the son of a farmer, and a visually impaired in a region where resources were scarce. Bhagirathi was one of three visually impaired siblings, yet his thirst for knowledge and determination to overcome his disability shone brightly. He pursued his dreams and managed to earn a master’s degree in arts.
However, Bhagirathi’s journey took an incredible turn when Voice of SAP (VOSAP) stepped into his life and provided him with the Kibo XS Device. This device, which was subsidized by VOSAP, became the catalyst for transformation in Bhagirathi’s life.
With the Kibo XS Device, Bhagirathi’s life underwent a remarkable transformation. He put it to incredible use, harnessing its capabilities to pursue his dream of becoming a civil servant. With unwavering determination, he embarked on a journey to pass the Orissa Public Service Commission (OPSC) exam, which is no small feat for anyone, let alone someone with visual impairment.
The Kibo XS Device became Bhagirathi’s trusted companion, assisting him in his studies, enabling him to access resources, and connecting him to the world of education and information like never before. It helped him overcome the limitations and empowered him to reach for the stars.
Through sheer hard work, dedication, and the invaluable support of VOSAP, Bhagirathi Bal triumphed over adversity. He not only passed the OPSC exam but achieved an even greater milestone – he became an assistant collector, a position that few could dream of attaining. Bhagirathi’s story is an inspiring testament to the power of determination and the impact that Voice of SAP is contributing in making dreams a reality for specially-abled individuals.
Bhagirathi’s journey from the fields of his father’s farm to the corridors of the administrative service exemplifies the transformation that Voice of SAP brings to the lives of specially-abled people. Through our initiatives and subsidized devices like the Kibo XS, We empower individuals like Bhagirathi to break barriers, shatter limitations, and achieve their dreams. Bhagirathi Bal’s story is not just a success story; it’s a beacon of hope and inspiration for many others facing similar challenges.
