Jammu And Kashmir's Irmim Shamim Becomes First Gujjar Woman To Clear AIIMS Entrance Exam

Shamim, who hails from Dhanore village in the bordering district, worked hard beating all adversaries to make it to the premier institute. She had to walk a distance of 10 kilometers on foot every day to go to school as there was no good school near the village. Belonging to a backward community and struggling with financial woes, Shamim took all the challenges coming on her way head-on. “Everyone has some problem in their life. You have to fight the challenges and success will definitely come to you,” she said. Her family is happy with her success and wants to see the girl become a successful doctor and serve the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the country.
