'I used to fake...': Visually impaired officer Krishna Gopal Tiwari's painful but inspiring journey

The story of India's first visually impaired bureaucrat, Krishna Gopal Tiwari, is painful but inspiring. Tiwari, as is noted by the Government of Madhya Pradesh, fought against his progressive blindness to crack the much coveted civil services exams and had to take up another protracted struggle to fight against the rules laid for getting into service. This week, the IAS officer spoke to Hindustan Times' Kumkum Chadha in our weekly talk show 'The Interview' and narrated his journey from his school to the IAS. Watch the full interview.
