Indore Girl Who Lost Father to COVID-19 Gets BA Degree at Age 15

In a remarkable achievement, a 15-year-old girl hailing from Indore, who tragically lost her father to the COVID-19 pandemic, has successfully cleared her third-year Bachelor of Arts (BA) examination. Tanishka Sujit, a bright student, obtained an impressive score of 74.20 percent in the final year BA psychology examination, as confirmed by an official from Devi Ahilya University, Indore.

Overflowing with joy, Tanishka shared her lifelong aspiration of becoming the youngest graduate. "Since childhood, I have dreamed of achieving this milestone," expressed Tanishka to PTI. While she envisions pursuing law studies in the United Kingdom, her ultimate goal is to become "the youngest Chief Justice of India," she added.

During his visit to Bhopal for the joint commanders conference on April 1, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had the opportunity to meet Tanishka. This encounter served as a significant moment for the young prodigy. Unfortunately, Tanishka's father, Sujit Chandran, lost his life during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Recalling those challenging times, her mother, Anubha, mentioned that Tanishka was in the midst of her Class 12 exams when her father passed away. Despite the emotional turmoil, Tanishka mustered the strength to complete her remaining two exam papers, emerging triumphant with exceptional results.

Anubha fondly expressed, "Wherever my husband is, he must be elated with his daughter's extraordinary achievement." Tanishka's unwavering determination and resilience have undoubtedly made her father proud.
