SRINAGAR: Kashmir girl, Aieda Younis has topped the CBSE tenth class in Mohali region. She secured an impressive 98.6 percent in the CBSE Class 10 exams, the top rank in Mohali.
Her journey from the troubled atmosphere of Kashmir to academic excellence in Mohali is truly inspiring. An erstwhile student of DPS Srinagar, her family decided to enroll her in a school outside Jammu and Kashmir.
In 2017, her father, a banker, sent her mother and the two sisters to Tricity. She was enrolled in the Gurukul, Zirakpur where she studied for all these years. Aieda’s parents took the decision of shifting their kids after the militants barged into the school. There was a gun battle around though the students stayed safe.
Interestingly, all the three operate from the same school. Her mother, Usra is teaching in the same school. Aieda’s elder sister is studying twelfth standard in the same school. Aieda wants to be a doctor because she believes, ‘saving one person means saving humanity’.
