CBSE results: Several schools refused to admit girl with cerebral palsy, today she scored 90.4% in Class 10 exams

School principal Deepshika Shrivastav said Mamta is an inspiration for everyone at the school, including the teachers. She referred to Mamta as a ‘loving, hard-working child who smiles a lot”.

“It has been a pleasure to see her grow up,” she said.

Rupali said she is thankful to her parents, relatives and the school for playing a role in Mamta’s results.

“The school gave us concessions to leave early, come late and allowed me inside classes. I would clear my doubts with the teachers. In spite of her physical limitations, Mamta has a good memory and loves to study,” she said.

Unable to opt for music or art, Mamta took up social science, a subject in which she scored 92 marks out of 100. “Maybe she will go for psychology later,” said Rupali.
