Girl abandoned by her father scores 99.4 percent in Class 10; Emotional video goes viral

A teenage girl, identified as Sreeja, who lost her mother the day she was born, and was later abandoned by her father, went on to score 99.4 percent in her CBSE Class 10 board exams and emerged as the topper in Bihar.

The girl’s maternal grandmother, with whom she lives, spoke about the struggles she had to endure growing up without either of her parents. A video of the same shared by an MP has now gone viral on social media. Stating that they are extremely happy about the results, Sreeja’s grandmother said, “Her father left the girl after my daughter’s death. We have not been in touch or seen him since then. He got married again and now he must be regretting after seeing his daughter’s board result.”

Sreeja, who is a student of Patna’s DAV Public School, secured 99.4 percent in her public exams after scoring 100 marks in two subjects, Sanskrit and Science, and scoring 99 in English, Mathematics, and Social Studies. The girl aspires to become an electrical engineer.
