This is not just a story of survival — it is a story of dignity, education, and transformation.

In this deeply moving episode of The Mohua Show, Roshan Pravin shares her lived experience of growing up in a family affected by leprosy in West Bengal — and how education became her path to freedom, confidence, and purpose.

Born into a family where multiple members were affected by leprosy, Roshan grew up facing social stigma, uncertainty, and limited opportunities. Yet, she carried a quiet dream — to become a teacher. That dream found direction through timely support from the Sasakawa India Leprosy Foundation, whose scholarship program helped her complete her education and rebuild her future.

In this episode, Roshan speaks about:

Growing up in a leprosy-affected family and facing stigma
How education changed her life trajectory
Becoming a teacher against all odds
Finding her voice through poetry and winning national recognition
Why dignity, not charity, creates real transformation
Giving back to communities affected by stigma and exclusion

Today, Roshan is a working teacher, a published poet, and a national award recipient — proving that leprosy does not define destiny, but opportunity does.

This episode is a reminder that when society chooses awareness over fear and support over silence, lives can change forever.
