Born without hands, man learned to write with his feet, now teaches, dreams of IAS

"

Jami Simhachalam Naidu, who lives in a small village called Ganeshettipalem in Andhra Pradesh's Vizianagaram district, was born with severe disability in both hands and one leg, but he never let it stand in his way.

As a child, people who saw Jami wondered what he would go on to do in life. But today the same Jami has achieved something that leaves everyone who hears of it amazed.

Both of Jami's hands did not work from birth. When he was only three and a half years old, his uncle Jami Narasimha Rao read about a person abroad who wrote with his feet in a magazine. That gave his uncle an idea, and that idea changed Jami's entire life.

His uncle began training Jami to write with his feet. He was first made to practise holding chalk and a pen between his toes. Constant practice made the impossible possible, and this proved true in Jami's case. After a few years of hard work, he was writing easily with his toes.

After that, Jami wrote all his school and college exams, as well as competitive exams, using his feet. He never took a writer's help to write his exams. After scoring a good rank in the teacher recruitment exam, he was selected as a teacher at a government tribal welfare high school. Today he holds chalk between his toes and teaches children by writing on the blackboard.

Even after getting the government job, Jami Simhachalam's journey did not stop there. His next goal is to clear the UPSC exam and become an IAS officer. He has a deep desire to serve the country and society as an IAS officer.
