Living In Tent, Tribal Girl Secures Over 92% Marks

In a remarkable display of determination, Shabnum, a tribal girl from the remote Paner area of Tral in south Kashmir's Pulwama district, has achieved an outstanding result by securing 463 marks in her 10+2 examinations — all without any formal coaching or coaching centres.

Coming from a humble background, Shabnum’s achievement has not only filled her family with pride but has also become an inspiring story for students across the region, especially girls from underprivileged communities.

With limited access to educational facilities and no nearby coaching centres, she relied solely on self-study and guidance from her school teachers.

Shabnum Sadiq, who lives in a polythene tent at Kathwadi near Paner Jagir Tral, faced numerous hardships on her path to success. Despite these challenges, she remained focused and committed to her studies.
