When an 18-year-old girl in Chhattisgarh cleared her class 10 state board examination, it was an extraordinary feat given her family background. Her parents are active Naxalites, living their lives under the shadow of guns, but that did not deter the teenager from single-mindedly pursuing studies residing away from them.
She now hopes to become a doctor and serve the tribals of her native district.
The daughter of the Naxalite couple hails from Abhujmad area of Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district. She scored 54.5% marks in the High School Certificate Examination (Class 10), the result of which was declared by the Chhattisgarh Board of Secondary Education on May 10.
