Dared to Dream

Vipin Rajat was a young boy from a Dalit family, living in a small village nestled amidst the lush greenery of rural India. Despite the hardships his family faced, Vipin harboured a deep passion for creativity which was sparked by his encounters with Vikrant Sir, who would visit his village occasionally during his vacation.

Inspired by Vikrant Sir's artwork, engineering ability and his empowering words, Vipin embarked on a journey of self-discovery. With no formal training but fuelled by a strong determination, he first delved into the world of drawing and creativity. Armed with just a pencil and some sheets of paper, he spent hours honing his skills, capturing the beauty of his surroundings and expressing his dreams and emotions through art.

As he continued to develop his talent, Vipin realized the potential his artwork held. Determined to not burden his poor family with his college admission and tuition fees, he decided to leverage his creativity to earn money. Setting up a small stall in the village market, he began selling his drawings and handmade statues of god/goodness during Indian festive celebration.

Despite initial scepticism from some villagers due to his Dalit background, Vipin's talent and hard work soon gained recognition. His stall became a popular attraction, drawing in customers from neighbouring villages. With each sale, Vipin felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that he was inching closer to his goal of funding his education.

Through sheer perseverance and dedication, Vipin not only raised enough money to pay for his college tuition but also inspired others in his community to pursue their passions fearlessly. His story became a beacon of hope, proving that with talent, determination, and a relentless spirit, one can overcome any obstacle and achieve their dreams.
