The results, released on Tuesday, highlighted the success of numerous students across Karnataka, with Maanya’s story standing out as a testament to hard work and resilience.

She is now focused on pursuing further education with the ambition of becoming a Chartered Accountant.
The accomplishment of Maanya S. Poojary has been met with widespread celebration.
