Being a visually challenged girl, there were a lot of challenges, but my parents and teachers helped me a lot to conquer them. We have limited access to resources but technology helped us a lot. My main source of study was audio and textbooks."

This is why we need stricter laws against acid attacks. Kafi's achievement is remarkable, but no child should have to go through such trauma. The government should provide full support for her IAS preparation - she deserves every opportunity.

Her parents' sacrifices and her gratitude towards them shows our beautiful Indian family values. Wishing her all the success for UPSC exams! Maybe CBSE should consider making study materials more accessible for visually challenged students across India.

While Kafi's story is inspiring, we must also acknowledge that many acid attack survivors don't get this media attention. The system needs to support all survivors equally, not just the exceptional cases. Still, hats off to her achievements!

Kafi's message about social media is so relevant today! Youngsters wasting time on reels when this girl is creating real inspiration. CBSE should feature her story in value education textbooks. #RealHero

As someone from Haryana, I'm proud but also ashamed - proud of Kafi's achievements but ashamed that acid attacks still happen in our society. Hope her story brings change. Her marks are better than most 'normal' students - kudos!
