daughter alone in the city was a heart-wrenching one, but Kanika's parents exhibited remarkable strength and commitment to ensuring her education.

cracking the medical entrance exams. Her story serves as a testament to the incredible impact of quality education and the unwavering support of those who believe in one's potential. Vimukti salutes her indomitable spirit and the dedication of her family, showcasing the transformative power of education and determination.
