It is a struggle to achieve your goals with a disability and it only gets harder when your loved ones disown you for having a dream. Such was the case with Ummul Kher who has, this year, bagged an all India rank of 420 in civil service examinations of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

Kher, the daughter of a street vendor, was born with fragile bone disorder which lead to 16 fractures and eight surgeries through her childhood. She had moved from Rajasthan to Delhi with her family when she was in class 5 and was disowned for her wish to study beyond class 8.
