Chennai, TAMIL NADU :
“Dare to Dream!” – Two Girls from a Government School allotted MBBS & BDS seats by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Ms. Gouhar Parveen aged 18yrs and Ms. Jouhar Parveen aged 17yrs are sisters who stand out for their grit, determination and academic excellence. Their father is an embroidery artisan, currently out of work due to the pandemic and mother is a homemaker.
These girls are the alumni of Government Hobart Higher Secondary School for Muslim Girls, a 147 year old historic minority institution that primarily caters to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in Chennai.
Both the girls being first generation learners, have always dreamt of becoming doctors, and have been encouraged and inspired by their father to follow their dreams. With tremendous hard work, dedication and resilience, against all odds, Gouhar has been fortunate enough to obtain a medical seat (MBBS) and Jouhar, a dentistry seat (BDS) under the government issued minority quota.
Both the girls will be contributing assets to their family, society and the greater community. They are an inspiration to all children from underprivileged backgrounds. A resonant – “You can also dare to dream”
The students have been greatly supported and encouraged by their teachers, their Head Mistress – Mrs. S. Kanmani , a State level Best Teacher – Dr. Radhakrishnan Awardee for 2020-21 and the Parent Teacher Association (PTA).
Since the inception in 1993, the Parent Teacher Association has been working along with the school in providing quality education to the students and helping in creating a positive and healthy environment for the student.
The PTA does not stop with just schooling, they handhold them to build fruitful careers. It has been supplementing the students with additional coaching to improve their calibre.
In fact, the above students were privately coached by the PTA to crack the NEET exam. In the last 3 years alone, they have helped 108 students in pursuing their collegiate education in both Arts and Professional Streams.
