Just days after introducing a transgender as a new anchor, Tamil channel Lotus News has now made a visually challenged boy their news reader.

Eleven-year-old Sriramanujam, blind since birth, read the special news live 22 minutes, with the help of a braille prompter.

Channel Chairman G K S Selvakumar believes that this could help to promote and create awareness on eye donation among the public so that such talented people get their vision back and achieve their goals.

Sriramanujam could soon become a permanent daily news reader, as mentioned by the chairman.

Sriramanujam had always wanted to achieve something in life and chose to appear on TV as that was the medium a lot of people accessed daily.

"I was scared for the first two minutes but then it was business and I read it fluently," he said.

Sriramanujam has big career goals, and wants to become a collector some day.
