A student of Amity International School, Noida Vinayak scored 100 in English, 96 in science and 97 in Sanskrit, but he could not appear for computer science and social studies.
CBSE declared results for class 10th on May 6. While it was a joyous moment for many but for Vinayak`s parents it was a heart-wrenching and emotional moment. Vinayak Sridhar passed away in the midst of CBSE class 10th exams and could only write three papers. Vinayak scored around 100 in all the exams that he appeared.
Vinayak was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when he was 2 years old. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. It is caused due to the absence of dystrophin, a protein that keeps muscles intact.
A student of Amity International School, Noida Vinayak scored 100 in English, 96 in science and 97 in Sanskrit, but he could not appear for computer science and social studies.
Vinayak’s mother Mamta Sreedhar said, “His muscular movement was very limited. He could write slowly but since there is time duration for exams, he used a writer for his English and science papers. For Sanskrit, he insisted on writing it himself. His body movement was restricted and he was wheelchair-bound. But his mind was very sharp and aspirations very high.”
Vinayak idolised Stephen Hawking and wanted to be an astronaut. His mother added, “He would always say ‘I want to become an astronaut despite all the challenges and if Stephen Hawking could go to Oxford and make a name in cosmology I can go to space too’. He was confident that he will be among the top rankers. We were always surprised by his confidence and encourage him.”
Vinayak’s principal Renu Singh said, “Vinayak was our best student. Despite being wheel-chair bound, he was lively and would participate in the school activities. Despite his difficulties, he was as an inspiration for everyone."
Vinayak`s sister is an Indian Institute of Science (IISc) alumnus and is currently pursuing her Ph.D. at the University of Columbia on a fellowship. While Vinayak’s father is the vice-president of GMR, his mother is a homemaker by choice.
