NMC student Ankita Gupta defies poverty, secures 87% sans coaching
Ankita Pintu Gupta, a resident of Surendragadh, has demonstrated that success is born of dedication rather than expensive tuition. Coming from an underprivileged labour-class family, Ankita secured an impressive 87 percent in her Semi-English medium studies without any private coaching. She not only topped her school but also emerged as a high ranker at the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) level.
Beyond academics, Ankita has excelled in science, arts, drama, and public speaking. Her journey from a humble background to dreaming of becoming a doctor serves as an inspiration for students across economically weaker sections. Her school, Surendragadh Hindi Secondary School, achieved a 100 per cent result in SSC this year, showcasing the strength of government institutions.
Ankita credited her success to the constant guidance of her teachers and specifically thanked Headmistress Dipti Bisht for her unwavering motivation and support throughout her academic journey. Her achievement proves that with discipline and self-confidence, excellence is attainable regardless of financial constraints. Her success story has become a matter of pride for the entire community and a ray of hope for countless talented students from economically weaker backgrounds.
