Chandigarh, May 14: With an outstanding achievement, a Chandigarh-based teen who lost his vision in an acid attack at 3-year, has topped the Class XII Exam with 95.6 score.
The inspiring tale of resilience and determination came true for 17-year-old Kafi, a student at the Blind School in Sector 26, Chandigarh.
Kafi has topped her school in the Class XII board exams with an impressive score of 95.6 per cent. An acid attack survivor, Kafi aspires to pursue her degree with political science from Delhi University and dreams to clinch Indian Administrative Service (IAS) in the nearest future.
Kafi was subjected to an acid attack by three neighbours living in the village of Budhana in Haryana's Hisar district. It was just out of jealousy. The attack left Kafi with severe burns on her face and arms, and she lost her eyesight, however she survived.
Despite this, Kafi did not give up and kept fighting to achieve her dreams.But using audiobooks as her primary tool of study, Kafi diligently pursued her education and had earlier scored 95.2% in her Class 10 exams.
Kafi's father, a class 4 contractual employee at the Mini Secretariat in Chandigarh, is over-joyed with his kid’s thumping performance in the Board Exams.
“She will make her dreams come true in terms of willpower and strong determination on own merits”, he added.
