Speaking to TOI, his mother said that over the past three months his conditioned worsened; he could barely sit for more than house on a wheelchair; he lost his voice because of the condition and yet he was hell bent on writing the exams.?
At home, he would study with the help of a glass slab placed above his head and every time he was done with a page, his mother would to come to flip it. The government authorities provided Kanhaiya who is a student of BES PU College a bed and a table to give his exams, and a scribe helped him through it.?
With his condition he couldn't appear for all 100 marks in every subject but he did his best.?
