Manish Kumar,
S/o Sh. Hari Om,
Resident of Vill. Rathpur near Pinjore, Panchkula district.
I am a student of 9th class in GSSS Pinjore. I am 100% orthopaedically impaired and also suffering from muscular dystrophy by birth. My father is a labourer and it’s very difficult to bear the expense of 4 people in our family. My primary education till 8th class was from GPS & GMS Rathpur. After middle school, I got admission in GSSS Pinjore with the efforts of special teacher of IED GSSS Pinjore. But due to my heavy body weight I felt much difficulty in attending the school because it was 2 kilometre from my home. But with the guidance of Principal (Dr. Anoop Singh) and efforts of special teachers of IED Pinjore, my parents agreed to send me to the school with the help of my peers. Since I got admission in school I was benefited with escort allowances, scholarship, annual medical assessments, aid and appliances, railways and bus concessions. Side by side my parents were also benefited with free parental counselling facilities provided by the department for awareness about the different trends in the field of disabilities. There is a very cooperative staff in my school and my peers are extremely helpful . All the teachers and my classmates take keen interest to involve me in every class activity. All subject teachers give special attention while teaching and are always ready to clear my concepts after the class. I am very glad to have this type of supportive staff and friends.
