Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has extended heartfelt congratulations to Vaibhavi Santosh Deshmukh, who secured an impressive 85.33 per cent in the Class XII Science stream despite enduring a tragic personal loss.

Vaibhavi is the daughter of the late Santosh Deshmukh, the Sarpanch of Massajog in Beed district, who was brutally murdered on December 9, 2024. Just three months after her father's shocking and widely condemned killing, Vaibhavi appeared for her Class 12 board exams and delivered an exceptional performance.
