Visually impaired determined to crack civils

Karimnagar: Visual impairment does not stop him from achieving 10 GPA in SSC-2019. Lucky Mirani, a student of Parramita High School in Karimnagar, had passed SSC with 10 GPA.

He had perfectly functional eyes when he was born but he was affected by a disease 'Retinal Dystrophy' when he was in second class and lost 80% of his eyesight. And after one or two months, he completely lost his eyesight.

His father Deepak Mirani is a government school teacher and his mother Muskaan Mirani is a fashion designer. Lucky learned mathematics from his father. He wakes up at 4 am every day to study and his memory is so great that he still remembers the questions he wrote in board exams and the time he took to answer them.

Lucky is so optimistic that he says, "Even if I can't see the world, I will let the world see me". He is determined to crack Civil Service examination in future. Lucky's father Deepak said that his son lost his vision when he was studying second class after he was affected by a rare eye disease.

There is no specific treatment for this. Lucky though blind had scored 10/10 GPA and stood as the first blind child in Asia to get top marks, Deepak said. Lucky studied in a normal school, not in a school for blind children and he was provided free education till SSC.

Lucky has been immensely supported by Paediatrician Dr E Vijayender Reddy, Gynaecologist Dr E Shailaja, Chairman of Paramita Educational Institutions Dr E Prasad Rao and Director Rashmita. Lucky has been felicitated by several organisations like Sindhi Society, MLA Gangula Kamalakar, District Collector Sarfaraz Ahmed.
