Youth with muscular dystrophy set to be co-op sr inspector
Pudukottai: For 22-year-old R Gobinath, stepping outside after five long years is not just about fresh air — it's about stepping into a new life. Battling muscular dystrophy since his school days, the young boy has now cleared Group 2A combined civil services exam mains Feb 2025, and is set to join the cooperative department as a senior inspector. In the last five years, he had hardly gone out except for writing exams. Diagnosed with the condition while studying in Class VIII, Gobinath lost the ability to commute on his own. "Since then, I had to drop him off at the campus," says his father K R Raja who had quit his job to take care of his son. After completing Class XII, Gobinath cleared NEET in 2020 but could not secure a medical seat through counselling. "He was devastated. The boy is intelligent and has a good academic track record, but he lost his confidence," Raja recalls. But his family encouraged him to continue his education through distance learning. Gobinath went on to earn a BA in History from Alagappa University and is now pursuing his MA there. His perseverance paid off when he secured a rank of 977 in the TNPSC exams, qualifying under the specially-abled category in the first attempt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like For the chosen ones! 4&5 Bed Condominiums at Financial District, Hyd Sumadhura Group Learn More Undo His father said Gobinath studied using TN books, and did not get coached. Gobinath had requested the district administration to be posted in his home district of Pudukottai. "It will be better if the govt along with the posting can also arrange for a battery operated wheel chair for him," Raja said. "While I was confined to my home, there were times I felt life had closed all doors on me, but my parents kept reminding me that one success can change everything. Clearing this exam has brought back my confidence. I want to serve people with the same dedication my family showed in standing by me," Gobinath said. Gobinath had not taken much treatment ever since he was diagnosed with the condition, except for a few physiotherapy sessions. "Treatment for this costs a fortune and not everyone can afford it. Steps should be taken to ramp up efforts to extend as many special wheelchairs, assistance, and special beds" he said. Gobinath has been receiving Rs2000 monthly in welfare assistance from the govt. While muscular dystrophy has a few limited treatments to manage quality of life and symptoms, there is no permanent cure for the condition as yet.
