District Education Officer Secondary Satinder Bir Singh today announced the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) results of Class XII that were declared yesterday.
Meenakshi and Nagita of Meritorious School in the district jointly secured the first position in the district with 98 per cent marks. Similarly, Rekha of Government Senior Secondary School, Nawankot, secured the second place with 97 per cent marks.
Meenakshi, who aspires to join the Indian Air Force, is a student of non-medical stream and credited her success to her parents and teachers. “Despite the Covid pandemic, my teachers helped me study throughout this period through various modes such as online and also offline modes,” she said. Meenakshi, the only sister of two brothers, born to father Jugraj and mother Pushpa Devi, has made the entire family proud.
Nagita said she wants to pursue her fathers’ dream of making a name for herself. Her father passed away when she was young and she is supported by her mother Rekha Devi. “My mother has been my constant support. She worked tirelessly to ensure that I complete my education. I want to make her proud by becoming an IPS officer. This year was very tough for students, especially for those who do not have good internet access or smartphones. But the government provided them with phones which helped them come out with flying colours,” she said.
