Devashish KumarVadodara: He is physically challenged and visually impaired since his birth. But on Monday Devashish stood out from the rest as he topped English medium section of Sama-based Urmi School.
With 70% and 86 percentile, Devashish topped class 12 arts stream with B2 grade, scoring highest in two divisions, counting for over 100 children.
Devashish now plans to do further studies in music and psychology. “He comes in the 100 % disability category as he is physically challenged and visually impaired. But he is very intelligent and sharp. He can grasp all the concepts,” said his father Dr Omprakash, a paediatrician working with state-run SSG Hospital.
“At home, I used to read all the lessons, formulate answers of each question and record it. Once, recording used to get over, we would transfer it to the laptop so that he can listen to it. After he finished hearing the recording, we used to start question and answer section with him,” said Omprakash.
