2 girls from H'bag become 1st from Birhor tribe to clear matric

1 2 Hazaribag: Two girls from the primitive Birhor community created a record by passing the matriculation examination in the first division. This is the first time in Hazaribag that two daughters of the Birhor community passed the matriculation examination, leading to an atmosphere of celebration in their village. As the report about their achievement reached the district headquarters on Thursday, deputy commissioner Shashi Prakash Singh wished both the girls a bright future. The girls are residents of remote Jamuniatari, a small village located in the forest area of Chouparan block in Hazaribag district. The Jharkhand Academic Council released the results of the matriculation examination on Tuesday. This time, the results created many records, with state topper Gitanjali Kumari also from Hazaribag. The Birhor duo, Kiran Kumari scored 409 marks (about 80%), and Chanva Kumari scored 332 marks (about 66%). Education department officers said Kasturba Balika Vidyalaya in Chouparan where the two girls studied is not just an educational institution for them but a foundation of dreams, which gave them wings to fly. They have become an inspiration for other girls of the community, they added. Officials of the education department said they are in touch with the block officials and will ensure that the duo get admission to the school of their choice for intermediate education. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Homeowners can claim a free boiler upgrade if they live in these postcodes Eco Green Tips Apply Now Undo "The Birhor community is a tribal group (PVTG), traditionally known for nomadism and hunting for their livelihood.
