Jamshedpur: Growing up as the only child with partial visual and intellectual disabilities in an orphanage, Nandita soon learned that she was not “suitable” for many jobs. She could not articulate her thoughts as clearly as the other kids. She had trouble following instructions and no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t wrap her head around math. While all others were able to get jobs and leave, she could not hold on to one despite her best efforts. “I knew I had to get a job because there is no food without money, and no one will feed me forever,” Nandita says.
