Srinagar: Delhi Public School Srinagar Saturday awarded Satya Devi Amla cash prize of Rs 50,000/- and a two year fully funded scholarship to Parveena Ayoub of Ganderbal who scored 490 out of 500 marks in her class 10 examination.
In a statement the school said Parveena’s father, Ayoub, has to support a family of six including his four daughters and wife and the family lives in a single room tin shed with minimum source of income. “Coming from a financially weak background, Parveena soared through all the hardships and with perseverance and efforts, she managed to secure good grades by living in a single tin room with her siblings & parents.”
Every year the school offers a cash prize of Rs 50,000 to a meritorious girl student, keeping with its tradition of encouraging gender equality and promoting women empowerment. Delhi Public School Srinagar also runs a vocational centre for visually impaired named after Satya Devi.
Announcing the reward and scholarship, Vijay Dhar Chairman DPS Srinagar said, “We feel responsible for nurturing the dreams of achievers and dreamers, and under no condition can we let their dreams go waste for lack of resources. Parveena’s success deserves to be encouraged further, and provided the best platform to nurture it further.”
He reiterated that Delhi Public School Srinagar will provide her the best platform to excel in academics & other co-curricular & extra-curricular fields.
