Sapna Kumari of Gurmaha village in Jamui district secured 81% in the BBOSE matriculation exam, becoming the first girl from her village to pass despite the school being razed in Naxal violence.
Sapna Kumari, a student from Gurmaha village in Jamui district, Bihar, achieved 81% in the Bihar School Examination Board (BBOSE) matriculation exam this year.
The achievement is notable because the village's only school building was destroyed during a Naxal attack two years ago, forcing students to study in temporary shelters.
Despite the disruption, Sapna, along with her classmate Soniya, continued their studies at home and with help from teachers who conducted makeshift classes, eventually clearing the exam with top marks.
Her success marks the first time a girl from Gurmaha has passed the matriculation exam, inspiring other students in the region and highlighting resilience amid conflict.
Local authorities and community members praised her determination, noting that education remains a vital tool for empowerment even in areas affected by insurgency.
