Seema Kumari, a 10-year-old schoolgirl of Bihar’s Jamui district whose video of travelling one km on one leg to reach school went viral, can now walk down to her school with both her legs albeit wearing an artificial limb provided by the state education department.
Two years ago, her leg came under the wheels of a tractor in her native village Fatehpur and that's when she lost it. She underwent treatment but the doctors said that she might die if her injured leg was not severed. Despite the tragedy, she did not lose hope and wanted to continue her education. She managed to go to school 1km away from her home with a school bag on her back. Here's the video.
After her video went viral, Jamui district magistrate Awanish Kumar and other senior officials went to Fatehpur village and gifted her a tri-cycle. As per reports, discussions on getting her an artificial leg are also going on.

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has also come forward to help her. He saw the video and tweeted in Hindi “Ab yeh apne ek nahi dono pairon par kood kar sckool jaygi. Ticket bhej raha hoon, chaliye dono pairon par chalne ka samay aa gaya. (Now she will go to school by jumping on not one but both feet. I am sending the ticket, the time has come to walk on two feet.)”
More about her
- Both her parents work as labourers.
- She studies in class 4 and wants to become a teacher as she wants to teach the next generation of students.
- Her mother said in an interview that she used to stay at home post losing her leg in the accident. She would, however, often express her wish of going to school.
