Kankabati Malik, a specially-abled girl from Hooghly, has defied all odds to achieve an exceptional feat. She has secured 100% marks in the LLB degree course examination, setting an example for many. Despite facing numerous challenges in her life, including a physical disability, Kankabati never gave up on her dreams and pursued her education with great determination.

This extraordinary achievement by a girl from a remote village is underscored by her relentless determination. Kankabati has been fighting against numerous challenges since losing her father when she was just one year and four months old. Living with an 80% disability, it is difficult for her to walk. She even has to study by writing with both her hands and feet.

Jasimuddin Sheikh, a social worker from Gopalnagar in Khanakul, has been a long-time witness to Kankabati’s struggle and has provided assistance whenever possible.

He said, “If many more people stood by Kankabati, then her fight would be easy. In the coming days, her wishes, and her dreams will be fulfilled. Her mother’s struggle, inhuman toil will be fruitful.”

Kankabati Malik shared, “Since childhood, I have been struggling. I lost my father at a very young age. I have two older sisters who are already married. My eldest sister has been missing for the last 1-2 years. My mother and I try hard to survive. We didn’t have electricity a few days back, but after the initiative of Jasimuddin Sheikh, we got electricity. After passing LLB, now I want to pursue LLM. Subhashish Bhattacharya of Konnagar, along with Jasimuddin Sheikh, has offered to help me out with my further studies.”
