Perseverance on Wheels – The Journey of Balailal Maity

 Dhamra, 30.05.2025: Balailal Maity, a determined young man from Rabindranagar village, has long battled physical disability. Life was far from easy—his limited mobility forced him to rely heavily on others just to move around, making it difficult to pursue any form of livelihood. But Balailal never gave up on his desire to stand on his own feet and support his family. Adani Foundation always belief in Seva Hi Sadhana, Seva Hi Parthana, Seva Hi Paramatma.

As part of its commitment to empowering people with disabilities, a support program was initiated to provide battery-operated wheelchair vehicles to individuals actively engaged in livelihood-generating activities. Among the 10 beneficiaries this year, Balailal was one. The impact of this support has been transformative. The specially designed battery-operated vehicle, with a 25 km range, has given Balailal freedom of movement. No longer dependent on others, he now independently manages his daily commute and business operations across nearby areas like Dosinga, Kaithkhola, and Dhamra.

With his newfound mobility, Balailal has successfully set up a small medicine store. His dedication, combined with the timely support from Adani Foundation, has enabled him to not only earn a living but also inspire others in similar circumstances. His story is a shining example of what can be achieved when corporate support meets personal perseverance. Through this initiative, Adani Foundation continues to play a catalytic role in building an inclusive society—where no dream remains unfulfilled due to disability, and every individual is empowered to shape their future.
