Conjoined Twins Clear XII Boards With Flying Colours

Conjoined twins Veena and Vani secured 712 and 707 marks out of 1,000, respectively in Telangana's Intermediate Public Examination or Class XII board results announced on 28 June. Telangana's women and child welfare department has been looking after them since childhood after their parents had left them in the state's care because they could not afford their medical expenses.

Not only this, the meritorious girls secured 9.3 and 9.2 CGPA in their Class X examination.

Interestingly, the duo wasn't given any special privileges during the exam. They both used to study under the guidance of tutors provided to them, as per a report.

A lot of efforts have been made to separate the twins surgically. The surgeons, however, found the surgical separation risky. According to them, such a separation could lead to the death of either of the children or both. 

The girls' determination to succeed despite all odds is exemplary.
