Meet the visually challenged mechanic from Bihar


STRONG HOPE: He is visually challenged But his physical handicap does not come in the way of his skills.


They say where there is a will there is a way and Ram Kishun of Bihar is a classic example of this. He is visually challenged but that doesn’t stop him from being the best car mechanic in a Bihar town.

Meet Ram Kishun the most sought-after car mechanic in Birpur town of north Bihar. He knows the vehicles in and out. He is visually challenged But his physical handicap does not come in the way of his skills.

Kishun says, “I can work on the gear box, and brakes very well.”

A jeep driver Raja says, “He can't see but just by touching a vehicle he can detect the fault. If he has repaired a car once then he can tell whose car it is the next time it comes.”

Ram Kishun was born visually challenged but he always had a dream to follow. Instead of school he started spending time at motor garages and slowly picked up the skills of repairing cars and jeeps.

Car owner Shailesh Singh says, “He does such a good job with his dedication that I have become his fan.”

There are regrets though. When asked about his marriage he said, “Why who will marry me.”

Ram Kishun lives as a shining example inspiring the differently abled to fight back in life.
