AVINASH
Avinash is also called Udaya. The 10-year-old resident of Vaninagar has cerebral palsy, asthma and epilepsy. Father PSunder Shetty works the neighbouring farms. Mother Shaileja rolls bidi s for additional income. Combined monthly income: Rs 2,000-3,000. When Udaya wasn't able to walk at the age of one, his parents realised his disability. At age two, he began having epileptic fits. They took him to a hospital in Mangalore, Karnataka. It didn't help too much. They can't afford medical care now: "We can't buy medicines all the time. We purchase some tablets when his condition deteriorates.'
