Into the Light: A Journey of Resilience and Inspiration | Jitendra Nath Bhargava | TEDxKids@NMS

J. N. Bhargava gave an inspiring talk about his life. He shared his story of how he lost his sight due to contracting smallpox from his Aunt's children, along with his younger brother. Studying at a blind school in Dehradun, his life was not easy. He struggled to get admitted to high school but decided to become independent and make a life for himself. Despite being visually impaired, he lived away from his family, which was a significant change for him as he was handfed and taken care of by his mother at an early age. Living in this world as a visually impaired person was hard, but creating, changing, and living was even harder.
Humble and Proficient. Those words are most commonly associated with this great man, Jitendra Nath Bhargava. He works as a senior teacher and is often considered ‘People’s Idol’ Jitendra Nath Bhargava says, “Being visually impaired is not a big hindrance in itself. There should not be prejudice and prejudice towards the visually impaired.” Despite being visually impaired, he’s living a successful life. Even though smallpox ruined his eyesight, it couldn’t prevent him from being successful. He lectures to this day on various aspects of visual impairment conducted by the Medical Mansingh College, the primary health office in Keddo, Rajasthan. His story is one of resilience and triumph over adversity. He didn’t succumb to limitations; he embraced his abilities and carved a path to success. As the editor of a Braille newspaper, Jitendra Nath Bhargava promotes accessible information and empowers the visually impaired community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
