Daughters of 2 daily wagers top Ranchi dist
1 2 3 4 Ranchi: Proving that determination, discipline and dreams can triumph over any circumstance, two inspiring young girls from poor financial backgrounds topped the Ranchi district in their respective streams in the Jharkhand Academic Council (JAC) Class XII results. Jiya Srivastava, daughter of Gautam Kumar Srivastava, who works for a local tiffin service, grabbed the district topper position in the science stream, securing 94.6%. Her journey to the top rank was not easy. Her mother Mamta Srivastava said Jiya would often eat just one roti a day. "If I eat two, I'll feel sleepy," Mamta said quoting her daughter. She added that Jiya would often forget to eat or drink in her focused pursuit of academic excellence. She maintained a rigorous schedule, studying six to hours hours daily, avoiding distractions like TV and mobile phones. "I stayed away from junk food and anything that could disrupt my focus. The less I ate, the more I could concentrate," Jiya, who aspires to become an IAS officer, said. Drawing inspiration from Tina Dabi, who topped UPSC exam in 2015, Jiya said, "Her experience, personality, and knowledge encourage me. I want to serve the country like her."In commerce stream, Rekha Kumari, the daughter of daily wage labourer Mahadeo Oraon, secured the first position in district with a score of 93.6%. Talking to TOI, Rekha credited her success to a consistent study routine, self-motivation and support from her family. "My father is a labourer while my mother is a homemaker. Despite financial woes, I stayed focused."
