Bengaluru schoolgirl Devika Santosh to watch Republic Day celebrations with PM Modi

Devika Santosh, a shy girl from a Bengaluru school will share the space with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to witness the Republic Day parade and follow the events.

Devika Santhosh is the lucky girl chosen from Bengaluru to be a part of student delegation (of 100 students across India) to witness the Republic Day events from the Prime Minister's Box in New Delhi. Devika was awarded this honour as she topped the CBSC exams in 2018. But all this was possible because of the principal's decision to send her paper for revaluation after Devika scored 98%. Here is what followed later and also resulted in her landing in New Delhi to share the stage with PM Modi.
