Eleven-year-old Sriramanujam, born blind at birth, fulfilled his long cherished dream of becoming a news presenter, reports ANI.

Thanks to a regional news channel based in Tamil Nadu, Sriramanujam anchored a 30-minute news bulletin with the help of Braille, while his anxious teary-eyed parents watched, reports ANI.

After successfully completing his assignment, a thrilled Sriramanujam, shared his experience of reading news before camera.

He, however, said that he wanted to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer.

The news Sriramanujam read included the follow up of the Nepal earthquake and Sri Lanka's former president Mahinda Rajapaksa's trial.

Channel chairman, GKS Selvakumar, said the main purpose of introducing the visually challenged boy was to promote and create awareness on eye donation among people.
