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.
