Geeta, a 33-year-old woman with hearing and speech impairment, who returned to India from Pakistan in 2015, has achieved a remarkable feat by passing her eighth-grade examination with first division honours. She secured special merit in social science and Sanskrit, scoring an impressive 411 out of 600 marks in the exams conducted by the Madhya Pradesh State Open School Education Board.

Geeta now aspires to secure a job with the Madhya Pradesh government and is eager to continue her further studies.
