Tarn Taran, July 16

Perneet Kaur of Mata Gujri Convent School, Sarhali Kalan, who obtained 97 per cent marks in the CBSE Class X exams and topped Tarn Taran, aspires to become a doctor. Her goal is to pursue the noble profession and serve her hometown, which comes under one of the most backward border districts of the state.

Perneet’s father Inderjit Singh of Rattoke village near Chohal Sahib said he was proud of his daughter’s feat. He said, “I just want to say that Perneet has always been an achiever in our family. She has always done us proud.”

Inderjt Singh is a marginal farmer. He, along with his wife, is committed to provide every possible opportunity to their girls to help them chase their dreams. Perneet’s younger sister is a student of Class VI in the same school.

Geeta Kukraja, Principal of the school, called Perneet a genius and an achiever. The school authorities have announced to provide free education to Perneet Kaur till Class XII. Perneet Kaur said she took no coaching or tuition outside school and self-study was the key to her academic success.
