Swapna Biswas

A physically challenged girl in Tripura has passed her Class 10 board examinations by writing with her feet.Born with a deformity that prevented both her hands from functioning, Swapna Biswas, 17, of Uttar Nalichara village in Dhalai district, about 100 km from capital, fought her way through life without letting the disability prevent her from leading as normal a life as possible.Swapna used her feet to do all daily chores, from cooking to fetching water, and learnt to write by holding her pen between her toes. Naturally, she was jubilant when she secured a second division in the Class 10 examinations.
