Muskan Devta was presented the Supreme ACC Attitude Award for 2015 at Auckland’s Viaduct Events Centre.
A 16-year-old girl Muskan Devta, suffering from hemiplegia, has won a prestigious award constituted to honour outstanding achievements of New Zealanders with disabilities.
Muskan earlier won the award in the junior category last year. Her persistent efforts to improve the lives of others also saw her getting selected as a finalist in the youth category of the award this year.
But overcoming a tough competition from the winners of eight other award categories, she won the overall Attitude ACC Supreme Award.
In 2013, Muskan published first autobiography, “I Dream”, to raise money for Starship Children’s Hospital where she underwent corrective surgery. She now aims to raise funds to build two classrooms at a school for the visually challenged children in India.
