Kolkata teacher born blind turns obstacles into lessons for sighted students daily

He credits audiobooks and Braille for building

Sayantan Banerjee, a visually impaired teacher from Kolkata, leads the way at Bikramgarh High School—teaching even sighted students. Learning through audiobooks and Braille, he later founded a Reader-Writer Bank to support blind students. His story has become a powerful reminder that disability doesn’t decide a future, and access to tools can unlock education for all.
