Congratulating the students, parents, and teachers, Atishi said, “This outstanding result of Delhi’s government schools is a testament to the hard work of our teachers and students.

Motivating the students who could not clear the examination due to some reasons, she said, “Students who could not clear the board exam should now focus on improving their results and not stress about it. Parents and schools should ensure all possible support to such students and help them.”
