In a heartwarming display of encouragement for academic excellence, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav visited the modest residence of Chandani Vishwakarma in Bhimnagar on Monday, situated near the state secretariat and the New Vidhan Sabha in Bhopal.
Chandani, who emerged as the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) Class 12 Commerce topper for 2026, was honoured by the Chief Minister for her remarkable achievement of scoring 494 out of 500 marks.
The Chief Minister met Chandni and her family members and congratulated her on securing the top position in the state board examinations. MPBSE declared the results of Class 12 board examinations 2026 on April 15.
During the interaction, CM Yadav praised her dedication, perseverance and hard work, describing her success as an inspiration for other students across the state. He also assured that the state government would fully support her higher education and future aspirations.

I congratulate her on this achievement. Wherever she wishes to pursue her higher education, we will stand by her and support her," CM Yadav told reporters.

"I am feeling very happy. Today, the Chief Minister visited my home and told me that I do not need to worry about my future education. The government is with me and will extend its full support. The Chief Minister also said that assistance would be provided for building a house," Chandni told ANI.

Good on CM for acknowledging her, but the real heroes are Chandani's parents. For a daily-wage carpenter to raise a top scorer in commerce is no joke. And she wants to be a Lieutenant—kudos to her ambition! But let's hope the government doesn't forget her after the cameras leave.
This is exactly the kind of news that gives me hope—someone from humble beginnings achieving so much. I just hope the support mentioned isn't just promises. Much respect to Chandani and her family for rising above challenges.
What a proud moment for Bhopal! Narrow lanes but broad minds—that's our MP! Chandani's determination to become a Lieutenant is amazing. CM sahab coming on two-wheelers shows he respects the local setting. Now please ensure she gets that house and education support without any red tape.
Heartwarming to see a leader visit a student's home personally. But honestly, this shouldn't be a rare event—every talented kid from poor families deserves this kind of attention. Chandani's success is a testament to the power of education over poverty.
Such a beautiful story! Chandani's parents must be so proud—and rightly so. From narrow lanes to Vidhan Sabha recognition, she's come a long way. I just hope the government doesn't stop at one visit but actually provides long-term support. Best of luck for her Lieutenant dreams! ✨
