Digital Desk: Hasifa Khanam, a resilient student from Jogijan in Hojai district, has overcome leukemia to achieve academic excellence.
Despite her battle with the life-threatening disease, Hasifa secured an impressive 69.50% in this year's High School Leaving Certificate Examination (HSLC), drawing widespread admiration.

Moved by her perseverance, Badruddin Ajmal met with Hasifa today in an emotional encounter.
Both Hasifa and her father were overwhelmed with gratitude as they recalled the support that saved her life.
