Jammu and Kashmir's  Syeda Batool Zehra, who hails from the Pahari ethnic group in the border Uri, has achieved an impressive score of 469/500 in her Class 12 examination, media reports said on Sunday.

Despite facing numerous challenges, including the lack of transportation and tuition facilities in her village, Batool’s dedication and perseverance have made her excel academically, reports ANI.

Expressing joy at the announcement of her results, Batool tld the news agency, “I am a girl from a border area in Uri, where even basic facilities like transportation and tuition centres are scarce. It was challenging for me to travel to school on foot at times, and I couldn’t afford tuition classes. However, I am grateful to Allah for my achievements. I had expected higher marks, but I am content with what I have achieved.”

She aims to become an Indian Administrative Services (IAS).

The Pahari ethnic group is elated by the achievement of the young girl.
