Meet Roshni Bhadouriya, the 15-year-old who cycled 24km to school everyday and got 98.5% in her SSLC

Roshni Bhadouriya, a girl from a small village called Ajnol in Madhya Pradesh, has scored the 8th rank in the state, having secured 98.5% in her class 10 exams after cycling 24 kilometres to school every day. This 15-year-old used to cycle from her village to the school that was situated in Mehgaon. Irrespective of heavy rains or scorching heat, this little girl used to attend school without fail. She had even stayed back in school during days when she wasn’t able to get back home due to rains.

Roshni had scored a perfect score in math while she had scored 96 in her favourite subject English. She has said that she spires to become an IAS. While speaking to the media, she had said, “I was always attentive in class and focused on writing exactly what I had learned. I am thrilled to get such high marks. I want to clear the IAS exam so my father and I have decided to opt for mathematics in Class 11.”

She is the second of three children of Purushottam Bhadouriya, who works as a farmer. He was beaming with joy after the results were declared, and said that while it was difficult for him to keep his children in school but even after all his hardships, the thought of discontinuing her education has never crossed his mind.
