The Story of Raja Mahendra Pratap, from Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh.

At the age of 5 years, a small bet changed Raja life forever.

He was challenged by a friend for being incapable of holding an iron rod into an open electric wire. Raja drew courage and held an iron rod into high voltage electric current. Within seconds’ electricity surged through his entire body.

The accident resulted into amputation of legs and hands. Since that day till the age of 16, Pratap never moved out from his house.

He couldn’t attend school from age of 6 to 16. He had never stepped out of his house.

Since he couldn’t walk, he would crawl on the floor which rubbed off his skin at the joints. Gradually he learned to walk. With the help of his mouth and ankle, he would try to lift things.

His three elder sisters stood by him and encouraged him a lot.

He acquired knowledge by studying their books.

Similarly, with the help of his mouth and ankle, he would try to lift things.

But through his continuous efforts he learned to use computer with his mouth and ankle, and can write with the help of his jaws and walk on his knees.

The attitude of society towards him disturbed him, but he continued his search for a job.

He received a lot of interview calls while job-hunting, but once the interviewers saw him, their attitude changed.

Nobody was willing to believe that he would be able to accomplish the work allotted to him.

Finally, he landed a job as Assistant Manager in National Housing Bank, Delhi. Pratap’s job changed the attitude of his father towards him.

Today,

• If the lift of any building is non-functional then he climbs up without getting tired or exhausted.
