Cook’s Daughter Tops Delhi Govt Schools In CBSE Class 12

A glass cabinet filled with trophies won by Sana Niyaz adorns a pink wall of a small room the 17-year-old shares with her four sisters and mother in their Old Delhi home. The family has yet another reason to be proud — Sana, a student of an Urdu medium girls government school near Jama Masjid, is the top scorer among all Delhi government school students in the CBSE Class XII examinations, results for which were declared Thursday.

With a 97.6 per cent score, she is the fourth of her sisters to complete education from the same school — Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya No. 2, Jama Masjid. The fifth and youngest sister is studying in class IX in the same school. Two years ago, Sana’s elder sister, Umra, had topped the school in her class XII CBSE examinations. All four sisters are the first generation in their family to have completed class XII. Their father, a cook at Matia Mahal’s famed Al Jawahar restaurant, and their mother, a housewife, both stopped studying after class VIII.

Sana said she never took tuition classes. Asked who helped her clear doubts after school hours, she promptly replied, “My sisters.”

The 17-year-old, who studied History, Political Science, Home Science, English and Urdu in her higher secondary, said she wants to pursue the BA Programme course at Delhi University’s St Stephen’s College.
