Ritik, the son of a daily wage earner, became the first person in the country to get a prosthetic limb from the government by invoking the Right to Education Act. He was born with a congenital deficiency, bilateral elbow disarticulation, which means that both his arms were not fully formed at birth. Despite that, the 16 year old has won several state-level drawing and painting awards using his feet and toes. The Class 12 student is happy that he can now use his artificial arm to write and draw. He can now play cricket, draw and paint freely. He wants to pursue higher education and aims at becoming an artist.
