I am a dream chaser: Sukhsohit Singh
Sukhsohit Singh, the first Thalassemia patient who entered the Indian Defence Accounts Services, clearing the Civil Services Examination successfully has proved that Thalassemia need not be a hurdle in studies and career provided one is a dream chaser.
Hyderabad: Sukhsohit Singh, the first Thalassemia patient who entered the Indian Defence Accounts Services, clearing the Civil Services Examination successfully has proved that Thalassemia need not be a hurdle in studies and career provided one is a dream chaser.
The 33-year old Singh was in Hyderabad on Saturday and gave an inspirational speech to 200 Thalassemia affected patients at Thal Beats 2017 and explained to them how he achieved his dream despite being a thalassemia patient.
Speaking to The Hans India over phone on Monday, he said that he grew up in a very bold and confident environment. Despite being a Thalassemia patient, he never felt different from his elder brother who is a normal person, he added.
Singh said that his mother was a retired teacher and father a retired Air Force officer who always encouraged him. He said since his school days, he had topped in many competitions like debates and sports but never felt handicapped. “My parents encouraged me go beyond the limits,” he said.
Singh is currently working as Deputy Controller of Defence Accounts.About the management of Thalassemia, he said what was required was proper medical management. If one goes in for proper medical management, then nothing can stop him from achieving his goals.
“I am a dream chaser. I don’t want to get married. I only want to work for the society and serve the nation,” he said.
Furthermore, he said, parents should encourage the Thalassemia patients especially school children in such a way as if the problem never existed. They have to accept it though it was painful and difficult. But with the help of some NGOs or civil service organisations, necessary support in Thalassemia management can be done.
Even psychological counselling to patients and their parents should be given, he said. He said each Thalassemia patient was a gifted child with some limitations but have lot of potential.
Regarding his childhood dreams, Singh said as a child, he thought of joining a circus. Later, he wanted to become a doctor and chef but after the adolescent stage, he thought of becoming an IAS officer. He was barred to enter in civil services because he was a Thalassemia patient. With the media support and organisations, he was able to join the civil services.
He says he was inspired by the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi and APJ Abdul Kalam and Ameer Khan’s human touch. He said that he has interest in Indian literature, Indian and Sikh philosophy and Vedas.
