He has been attending offline training sessions on a weekly basis with the ATDC in Patna, and also attended an offline training camp held in Delhi in January 2022. Alam has used his disability to his advantage, proving that one can do anything if oneset their mind to it. This is an inspiring story of overcoming obstacles and making the most out of any situation.
