At Delhi Public School, MIHAN, academic success is not just measured in marks—it is defined by the stories of resilience behind those achievements.

More Than Marks: Stories of Courage and Commitment

Two students, Sudhanshu Sharma and Shaankari Jadhav, have emerged as powerful examples of perseverance, having overcome personal challenges to excel in the Class X Board Examinations.

Sudhanshu was born with a physical condition that made holding a pencil and writing extremely difficult. While many his age enjoyed games periods and free time, Sudhanshu chose to sit in the school library, dedicating those quiet hours to study. “Writing was hard, but I never gave up,” he shares. With unwavering support from his mother and the encouragement of dedicated teachers, he worked through his limitations and eventually achieved academic success through sheer determination and a disciplined routine.
