Ahmedabad :

Muskaan Sheikh is all smiles as she made it to the Top 25 in the country who cleared the Company Secretaries (CS) Foundation Programme Examination held in December.

While her All India Ranking (AIR) is 24, she ranked fifth in Ahmedabad Chapter with 77.50%. The results were declared on Monday.

A student of SLU College where she is pursuing her second year in BCom studies, Muskaan says she has leaped closer to pursuing her dreams of joining a large corporate and helping her family come out of their financial troubles.

Her father is a rickshaw driver whose work has been affected, like many others, in the Covid-19 induced lockdown.

She lives in an one-room house in Behrampura in Satya Jivan Leprosy Colony, a special housing colony built for people suffering from leprosy. Her father’s yearly income is less than 1 lakh.

Sheikh’s grandparents, who passed away some time ago, were victims of the deadly disease.
