Udupi, Aug 9: “There is nothing impossible if one is driven by the utmost willpower to excel in his field,” said Dr Subramanya, a visually challenged professor from Koteshwara.

Dr Subramanya turned out to be visually challenged at the age of 9. His disability to see had never let him down. He continued his education with the help of friends, teachers and available technology and could finish his doctoral degree in Economics. Currently he is working as an assistant professor in Economics at Government First Grade College, Koteshwara.

“Disability is for the body, not for the soul,” quoted Dr Subramanya. “Living an independent life, facing all the hurdles has given me the immense reassurance to achieve better,” he added.

The team members of Vidyarthi Darbar-Amreen of III BCom B, Nithesh of III BCA, Sharanya Shetty of II BCA led the interaction on the dias.

Ampar Nityananda Shetty presented the introductory note and Sandeep Shetty compered the programme.
