VADODARA: She was the first and the only visually-impaired  student to appear for the SSC exams using a  laptop in the state. Now, Vadodara-based Yesha  Makwana achieved yet another feat as she ranked  first in the state among all the visually-impaired students  who took the board exams. Makwana, a student of   Web Memorial School, scored 85.2%.
The blind  students are given special laptops with voice assistant features.
“It became possible due to the unflinching  support of my parents and the teachers of Samaj Suraksha  Sankul who motivated me to give my best. I am delighted,”  said Makwana, whose school is a part of the education  project of Deepak Foundation’s Sankul School and Resource  Centre.
Makwana’s ambition is to join the civil services and become an IAS officer.
