Amruta Bhople is 21 years old, a gold medalist graduate in English literature who has overcome the obstacles of bias and doubt that so often limit the capabilities of visually impaired people.

With an immense interest and determination, she applied for an audition and screen test, organised by BCN, a local news channel in Nagpur. Right from the first test onwards she realised that she could not only make it to the top but be better than the most. Such was her confidence.

Today Amruta reads her news script in Braille. Her mother has been a constant support throughout her life. She has no worries about her daughter’s future because she feels that Amruta is a fighter and accepts challenges to excel.

Amruta constantly pits her capabilities against the sighted, so she has no mean goals. An intelligent and ambitious, young woman, Amruta also plays chess and has a keen interest in music. Her next goal is to read the news for a national news channel.
