Ranchi:

Muslim students, especially girls, delivered an impressive performance in the Jharkhand Academic Council Intermediate examinations, earning praise from teachers, parents and educationists across the state.

The Class 12 results, declared on Wednesday, saw minority students secure top positions in the science stream. Many observers described the achievement as an encouraging sign for educational progress within the community.

Rashida Naz from Dhanbad emerged as the topper in the science stream with 489 marks. A student of Plus Two DAV High School, Rashida brought recognition to her school and district through her performance. Teachers described her as disciplined and focused, crediting her success to dedication and strong family support.

Faizan Alam from Patan secured the second position with 483 marks. Sana Afrin from Satbarwa and Akanksha Kumari from Simaria jointly secured third place with 481 marks each.

Educationists noted that girls once again outperformed boys in several categories, continuing a trend seen in recent years. Many teachers and parents said the results reflected growing awareness about the importance of education, especially among Muslim families and girls from smaller towns.

The achievements in Jharkhand followed similar success by Muslim students in the Bihar Board examinations earlier this year. In Bihar, Shabrin Parveen from Vaishali district scored 492 out of 500 marks and became a joint state topper in the matriculation examination. Several other Muslim students also secured places in the merit list with marks above 97 percent.

Parents and community leaders welcomed the latest results and said such achievements inspire students from modest backgrounds to pursue higher education and competitive careers. Teachers stressed the need for scholarships, career guidance and better educational opportunities to support talented students further.

UPSC 2023: Nazia Parveen’s mantra for success is following positive ideas

Giridih District, JHARKHAND :

Nazia Parveen

New Delhi:

Nazia Parveen, who secured 670th rank in the UPSC list of the All India Civil Services on her fourth attempt, says it’s wrong to marry women at a young age and deprive them of getting educated up to a higher level.

Nazia Parveen is originally from the Giridih district of Jharkhand.The daughter of a businessman and a homemaker mother, Nazia says she completed her schooling in her native place.

Thereafter she joined the Aligarh Muslim University for her graduation. Dreaming of becoming a civil servant, Nazia joined the residential coaching of Jamia Millia Islamia for civil services.

Nazia says that Jamia RCA played an important role in her success.

Nazia wrote the Jharkhand State Public Service Commission examination twice unsuccessfully. On her experience of failures, Nazia says, one should not feel disappointed and must keep struggling till the goal is achieved.

“In my journey of six years, I failed thrice and experienced both positive and negative emotions and thoughts. I always choose to pursue the positive ideas and kept my focus on clear the Civil services,” she told Awaz-the Voice.

On the educational levels of women, especially among Muslims, Nazia said early marriage of women is at the core of this problem. Even today in our society girls are married early, and they are not given a chance to get higher education, it is important to pay attention to this.”
