Bihar girl comes first in Class 10 exams at Pune school for blind girls

Anjali said, “I have been in the school for ten years, and they have taught me very well. The school helped me with travel and mobility as well. They provided me with a mobile to attend online classes during COVID. The school also provided us with Braille textbooks. I studied using textbooks and online resources. I am very happy with my results.”

Anjali’s parents are very proud of her. Her favourite subjects are English and computer science, but she wants to pursue law and become a judge. In her free time, she enjoys listening to songs, writing poems, and eating puran poli.

When asked how the government can make education more accessible for blind people, Anjali said, “The government should think about us so that more blind people can get an education. It is tough to find scribes to write our examination. They should allow us to use computers as they are easier and more accessible.”

Aarti Takwane, the head of the skill development centre of the NFBM, told the Indian Express, “For the past 26 years, the students of NFBM Jagriti School for the Blind Girls, Alandi Devachi, have given 100 per cent results in SSC board exams. Anjali Thakur has topped the class this year with 78.2 per cent, Nikita Sawatkar in second place with 73 per cent, and Vidika Ranerajput and Sriya Verma in third position with 72.8 per cent.”

Nikita, who came second, hails from a small village called Lahri in Nanded and would like to pursue commerce and work in the banking sector. Vedika, who has secured the third position, wants to work in the corporate sector.

Takwane said, “The girls will continue their education in Pune and join the NFBM skill development centre. The school will continue to help them in their pursuits.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE) declared Class 10 (SSC) results Monday morning. The overall pass percentage is 95.81 per cent, 1.98 percentage points higher than last year’s figure.
