Nishtha She Can't Walk. Yet She Is Helping Others With Muscular Dystrophy Become Independent
Nishtha is an example of sheer courage as she has been fighting muscular dystrophy for several years now, not allowing it to make her a "dependent". Not only this, she is on a mission to spread awareness about the cause and is helping similar patients to overcome this disability.
The wheels on her walker screech a bit as Nishtha seeks its support to move.
At present, Nishtha works at IIM-Ahmedabad, making her financially independent.
she coordinated the 19th National Medical Awareness Camp of the IAMD at Ahmedabad. The camp was a huge success. 144 individuals afflicted with various forms of Muscular Dystrophy participated and got a new perception towards life. Nishtha was the motivating factor – a girl who had journeyed from being bed ridden to becoming a mobile, active and vibrant individual. For the participants, Nishtha made a perfect role model. This event was instrumental in launching the Gujarat Chapter of IAMD that Nishtha heads.
