Ashok Kumar, Principal of the school, Sri Sai Inter college, Barabanki, said it is genuine to feel happy as our student has topped second in the entire state.

However, he was sure of getting 90 plus marks in the examination. When asked about his future course of action, he expressed his desire to pursue his career in B.Tech from IIT.
Taking a pragmatic approach to the COVID 19 pandemic, Prakhar thinks we should fetch positive from negative. During covid time, we were able to save a lot of time and focus on our studies which were wasted earlier due to travel time in school. He also gave a message to his friends who he thinks are equally deserving but could not get good marks and said that one should try to become a topper in life even if they could not become the exam topper
