Sambalpur's Kechhupani villager Narahari Pradhan ( 30 )who is visually-challenged, runs a paan shop in the village and has become a source of inspiration. He recognizes various items by touch.
Narahari tried to read but his poor financial condition came in his way. He took the handicap as a challenge and started his paan shop along the village road. "Initially I faced problems but slowly everything fell in place. Now people do not distinguish me from normal persons," Narahari said. He lauded his family members saying they supported him all along.
