A differently-abled student from Maharashtra's Latur district has scored 78 per cent marks by writing his Class 12 exams with his feet. The student aspires to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer. Gaus Sheikh, a science stream student, refused to take the help of a test scribe and wrote the answers with his toes during the Class 12 exams held in March. Gaus was born without hands. The exam results were declared earlier this week.
Hailing from a small village, 17-year-old Gaus completed his schooling at Renukadevi Higher Secondary Ashram School in Vasantnagar Tanda, where his father works as a Class IV employee. Gaus' father Amjad said, 'Gaus started writing numbers and letters at the age of four. His primary teachers made him practice writing with his toes. Gaus completes his exam writing work in the time given to normal students.'
Gaus said, 'Since childhood I have dreamt of serving my country, so I want to become an IAS officer.'
