Jharkhand 10th Result 2026: Faizan, a student from Godda, Jharkhand, secured 93.8 per cent in the Class 10 board examinations, topping the specially-abled category despite severe cerebral palsy. The Press Trust of India (PTI) shared a video of the boy holding a pen in his mouth to write, overcoming body movement challenges. Faizan told the PTI he could have scored higher if not for the physical limitations caused by his condition.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes, cerebral palsy is a brain disorder that appears in infancy or early childhood and permanently affects body movement and muscle coordination. The condition disrupts the brain's ability to control movement and maintain posture and balance.
"I wanted to score 96 per cent", said Faizan. "But because of my condition, I was weak in a few areas, my diagrams were weak, therefore I scored 93.8 percent", he added. Faizan's story has gained widespread attention on social media, showcasing the child's hard work and perseverance.
