I did my schooling from Ramakrishna Mission Blind Boys Academy. I belong to the South Dinajpur district of West Bengal. I belong to a middle-class Bengali family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My father is a farmer and a small businessman and my mother is a housewife. We are three brothers and one sister. Two of us are visually challenged. From my childhood, I am fighting against my physical disability and because of this, I had to face various kinds of problems in my life. Due to my disability, I also felt sad at times. From the beginning of my educational life, I was in a boarding school. After leaving home, I learned, socializing, how to overcome my disability, how to adjust with the other people and how to present myself in front of the society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I can recall that I was neglected by some people before starting my education but they also appreciate me at present. Now I feel proud of myself because I am more eligible than many people of the society in spite of being physically disabled.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\">Preparation for CLAT<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am fond of listening to and playing music. I learned to play the violin in my school. I am fond of reading stories and novels as well. The role of IDIA in my life is incomparable and it is like a blessing of God on me. A sensitization programme was conducted by IDIA in our school. I was impressed by law as a meaningful career option and therefore I attended INAT for becoming an IDIA trainee. I did not do well in the first attempt and I was disappointed. I appeared again the second time and I got selected as an IDIA trainee. For preparing for CLAT, IDIA provided me training through admission to a coaching center. The IDIA members of NUJS also guided me with great care. Then I appeared for CLAT and got admission to the WB National University of Juridical Sciences.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\">Law School &amp; the Hurdles<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After coming to law school, I faced many kinds of problems. For instance, I come from a Bengali medium school and as such, the English language is a big issue for me. I do not know English well. For being a good lawyer, writing skills must be good, but I feel that my writing skills are very poor. I am determined to improve the same. My communication skills are not so good, as a result, I feel difficult to participate in the class properly. I cannot complete my everyday lessons in time. I face difficulties in doing my projects work as well. Apart from this, I cannot access the online database independently because I have low knowledge of computers. So, I am unable to do research work properly. As I cannot use hard copy material, I have to take the help of technology. Therefore, I feel I must take computer training.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\">IDIA Volunteers<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the classes, if I feel any difficulties, IDIA volunteers are eager to help me as much as they can. After coming to law school my confidence level has increased a lot. I hope that I can improve myself and I will be able to reach my goals in life of becoming a good lawyer and most importantly, a good human being.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>About IDIA:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">IDIA is a pan-India movement to train underprivileged students and help transform them into leading lawyers and community advocates. IDIA is premised on the notion that access to premier legal education empowers marginalized communities and helps them help themselves. IDIA selects and trains students from underprivileged backgrounds (IDIA Trainees) to crack top law entrance examinations in India. Once they are admitted to top law colleges, it provides a scholarship to these students (IDIA Scholars) that comprises financial support, training and mentorship among other things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read more about IDIA here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.idialaw.org\/\">https:\/\/www.idialaw.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Get in touch with them here:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@idialaw.org\">info@idialaw.org<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><strong>SCC Online is now on Telegram and Instagram.
