Visually impaired family forms orchestra group to earn living in Orissa

Bhubaneshwar, Nov 20(ANI): A visually impaired family has formed a musical orchestra group to showcase their talent in Orissa.

The art of singing and playing music has becoming a source of livelihood for the family of seven, in which four children are visually impaired.

The proud mother of the folks said that the talent of her children would support them in future.

"I feel sorry for my kids, if they were not blind, they would have been playing with other normal children. They would have been able to mingle with them. So, I feel sorry for them. But now I don't feel sorry for them. Their talent will support them through out their life," said Nuadei Pradhan.

The special orchestra group has performed in several functions and events particularly during festivals and special occasions.

"I used to feel sad about this during my school days, but now we have taken an initiative of leading our lives by our talent," said Niharika Pradhan, a visually impaired girl. (ANI)
