She secured A1 grade with 549 marks, ranking second in the entire Astaranga Block of Puri district.

Her school teachers congratulated her on her success, celebrating it by feeding her sweets. Sonakshi’s father, Amiya Kumar Mohanty, runs a bicycle repair shop, which supports their family, including Sonakshi, her elder sister, and their grandmother, Nirmal Mohanty.

After losing her mother, Sonakshi’s grandfather, Nirmal, played a significant role in her upbringing. Despite poverty-related difficulties, Sonakshi’s love for studies remained unwavering, and her father ensured that she had everything she needed to pursue her education. Today, Sonakshi’s hard work has earned her admiration from everyone, proving that perseverance and determination can lead to success.
