Master Bikram Bhattarai was born to Shri Narapati Bhattrai  and Smt. Januka Bhatarai of Samalingdum Village under Ranka Block in the East District of Sikkim. He is a differently abled child born without forelimbs. In the initial stages, his parents got him enrolled in to a private school in the locality, where his talents and abilities could not be nurtured to the desired extent in the absence of trained expertise in the school. On hearing about Bikrams case, the IE Recourse Person under SSA visited the family. He was able to motivate the parents to admit their child in to the nearby government school. He was thus enrolled in to Sama lingdum JHS at the age of 10yrs in the year 2011 and ever since Bikram has been shining in both the scholastic and co scholastic areas. He has started writing with his legs and is making good progress in his studies. He has also been taking part in sports and other co curricular activities of the school and has many laurels and achievements to his credit. To name a few  he has been awarded the National Child Award Silver Medal by the Ministry of the Women and Child Development, Government of India, for exceptional achievement and the Social Justice and Welfare Department, Government of Sikkim, has felicitated    him for his dedication and hard work in arts and academic excellence. Bikram’s progress has been so noteworthy that his parents are ecstatic and overwhelmed and proud to be known as his parents.
