With this percentage, she ranked eighth in the state board. Her father Purushottam Bhadoriya, told PTI, that Roshani was earlier enrolled in a different school, and had access to bus facility, but two years ago, she changed schools and didn’t have transport available. “Since Roshani got enrolled in Class 9 of Mehgaons Government Girls' School two years back, she had to cycle to reach school on several days due to unavailability of other modes of transport like taxis,” he told the news portal.

“It was difficult to go to school on a bicycle. Though I didn’t count, I cycled for about 60 to 70 days a year to reach the school. My father also took me to school on his motorcycle whenever he had time,” she said.
In the future, she plans to prepare for IAS.
