The budding calligrapher from Tral village of Pulwama gave a message to her fellow students to pursue the art and show their talent in order to be recognised.
“I would like to say to all the people to show their talent as extracurricular activities are equally important as academic studies and other works. I also request all the parents to support their children so that they can be recognised in various fields,” Rani said.
