“I express my gratitude to CABM for grooming me to become a better sportsman. My performances in important State, Zonal, National and International tournaments have been recognized with multiple awards like ‘Man of the Series’ title for the India-Australia series and many Man of the Matches and Series in Local tournaments. These opportunities have helped me build confidence in my abilities and even helped me overcome my fear of public speaking. I am thankful to CABM for making me a STAR.”

“My association with CABM is from 2017. This gave me a new dimension to my game. Not only making my own identity as a fantastic player but also spreading a word about CABM activities. That’s how my village got not only a partially blind cricketer, but a female cricketer. Due to various coaching and training sessions through proper trainers and best facilities, I have been rewarded to represent in B3 category from Maharashtra Women Team.”

“That age is just a number, where there is a will there is a way. My gratitude towards CABM for giving me an opportunity to help me gain more knowledge and develop my leadership qualities. I feels proud to be a part of CABM, as a representative for Mumbai division.”

“Disability isn’t a euphemism for someone who isn’t able to achieve something different. It’s just a word that differentiates you from the rest not necessarily in a negative way. The way you are different depends on you. You must achieve so much that people forget your disability and start adoring your ability to achieve something which they thought was impossible.”

“Beyond the boundary of sight.” Also he adds that the stereotypical approach towards blindness and other disabilities still remains the same among other colleges, and society in general. If people could change their mindset about disabled people not being “normal”, there will be a great wave of change, which will motivate them to feel independent and complete. I believe that this change is not far away.
