Odisha visually impaired Sanyasi Behera has cleared the Odisha Civil Service Examination 2015 conducted by Odisha Public Services Commission (OPSC). He has created rays of hope for the scholars with physical disability by getting 220th rank in Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) 2015. A total of 670 candidates were chosen for the top state level jobs among which seven candidates were blind and six were deaf. Recently, physically challenged candidates were prohibited to sit in the Odisha civil service examinations. Sanyasi challenged the tradition and started his fight against the prohibition in 2006.
