Prajapati was compelled to move out of station as local schools couldn't provide facilities for a student like him who is visually impaired by birth. Determined, he insisted his parents make other arrangements.
"There were no facilities for me in our village school and hence I insisted in front of my parents that they should send me outside for studying and find a suitable school for me," R Prajapati said.
His father feels Prajapati has not only made him proud but has also brought laurels to Balrampur and Chhattisgarh. "We are very poor and sustain our livelihood by doing labour, we have no land. I am very proud that my son did so well. I will do whatever I can to make him study further," the content father said beaming with joy.

Prajapati's feat has moved district authorities, who are now willing to provide him with necessary means to further his academic aspirations.
