The announcement of the Class X results by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) brought laurels to 16-year-old Diti Grover and her family as the Board declared that she is one among the two Delhi toppers. Both Delhi toppers have scored 495 out of total 500.
Grover, student of St. Thomas Girls Senior Secondary School, Mandir Marg, belongs to a business family but wants to join Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and change common people perspective towards Governments. The other Delhi topper is Bhaweesh Sharma of Kulachi Hansraj Model School Ashok Vihar.
"The people are very cynical in their outlook and there is a common tendency to blame Government and authorities for each and every thing. The Government alone is not responsible for everything. This perspective needs to be changed," said Grover.
Grover said she has never studied more than 6 hours in a day and she is a "foodie" and loves eating a lot. "I was not expecting the result. I want to study economics and become an IAS officer in my life. In Class XII, I will study humanities and mathematics," she said.
On the other hand, 16-year-old Asmita Suri of renowned Delhi Public School (DPS) RK Puram has bagged 98.8 per cent with perfect 100 in three of the five subjects. Both of her parents are doctors at the prestigious All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and she too is interested in pursuing medicine as her profession in life for which she wants to study Biology in Class XII.
"I was quite regular in school and have put a lot into my studies. I love to play basketball and foot ball but have concentrated more on my studies in recent past," said Asmita.
Sidharth Agarwal of DPS RK Puram is the school topper under differently able category scoring 93.8 per cent in total. Sidharth told that his disability comes under "low-vision" category but the cooperation from his Principal Vinita Sehgal and parents were more than enough to ensure that his disability never comes on his way.
DPS RK Puram has 100 per cent pass percentage in class X to its credit.
"I was regular all round the year and never took stress. Even in examination times I have stepped outside the home for watching movies," he said. Sidhrath who loves cycling says that he has not very clear about his future goals but have some priorities.
Arnav Kalra of Manav Sthali School, Rajendra Nagar who scored 97.8 per cent , highest in the school, says that he has never studied in a time-bound manner. "I sit for studies whenever I feel like or it pleases me," he said. He admitted that he use to study a little more during the exam times.
