The journey can be tough, and there are times when circumstances become so challenging that one's determination begins to falter. Yet, in such moments, the inspiring story of Kerala's twins, Ramsina and Rizana Rashid, shines through.

Today, both are receiving admiration and blessings for their accomplishments.
Education
Ramsina earned a BTech degree in electrical engineering from IIT Roorkee, while Rizana pursued aerospace engineering at IIT Kharagpur.
