Jind: A farmer's daughter from rural Haryana has once again made her family and district proud by securing third place in the state's Class-XII arts stream, repeating a feat she first achieved in her Class-X board examinations. Yogita Sheokand, a student at Shiksha Bharti Global School in Budain, scored an impressive 497 marks out of 500 in the results declared on Tuesday.
Academic Excellence Against All Odds
The daughter of a small-scale farmer from Kakrod village, Yogita gave Jind district a reason to celebrate. She attributed her stellar academic performance to a disciplined seven-hour daily study schedule and staying away from social media. Her family confirmed that she used her mobile phone exclusively for educational resources, avoiding distractions.
Perfect Scores and Subject Mastery
Yogita achieved perfect scores of 100 in Hindi, physical education, and geography. She also earned 99 in history, 98 in English, and 97 in public administration, showcasing her diverse academic strengths.
Aspiring to Serve the Nation
"I aspire to be an IAS officer," Yogita said, adding that the unwavering support of her parents and teachers had made her success possible. Her father, Balwan Sheokand, who tills a four-acre plot, expressed immense pride in his daughter's achievement.
Breaking Gender Barriers
"Daughters are no less than sons," Balwan Sheokand said. "We have always encouraged her to work towards her goals, and she has proven that gender is no barrier to achievement."
School and Community Celebrate
Principal Harender Kumar praised Yogita's accomplishment, stating: "Yogita has brought glory to this school and the district. Her achievement underscores the rising academic standards within our rural communities." The entire village of Kakrod and the school community are celebrating Yogita's success as an inspiration for other students, especially girls, to pursue their dreams despite limited resources.
