Tufail Ahmad shared the struggles and hardships he faced in his life saying he was deprived of many basic facilities. Walking kilometers to get access to Internet and to reach school was one of the difficulties he had gone through. "I used to walk all the way to Srinagar to get access to Internet and used to download my study videos. The financial crunch was also there in my family. Till classes 3 and 4, I didn't buy new books," he added.
Ahmad said it was the hardships he faced that pushed him to do something for himself as well as the tribal community. "Tribal people face many basic facilities and the place I belong to, people here face electricity and connectivity problem more often. So it is always in my mind to do something for these people," Ahmad said.
"My brother and mother encouraged and supported me all way to my journey. My mother who is uneducated herself used to push me to study, hence there was an immense support from my family," he added.
