2. Jagrati Awasthi – AIR 2
Bhopal’s Jagrati Awasthi has done the city proud by securing the second rank in the CSE. Previously employed by Bharat Heavy Electronic Limited (BHEL), Jagrati decided to quit the position to focus on the examination. This is her second attempt. According to this report, she says, “I want to replicate the competence and simplicity of Sudha Murthy Ma’am and usher rural development and empowerment like Bhakti Sharma, the young sarpanch of Bhopal district’s Barkheda Abdullah village.”
Dr Suresh Chandra Awasthi, Jagrati’s father and Professor at the Government Homeopathic College and Hospital in Bhopal, said, “We were confident that she would crack the exam which was her dream right since school days but had not imagined that she would be second overall and women topper nationally. It still seems that we’re in a dream world.”
