CM lauds Pachamalai tribal student who cracked CLAT
Trichy: Chief minister M K Stalin on Saturday congratulated a tribal student from the Pachamalai hills near Trichy who became the first tribal student from the region to clear the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) and secure admission to the National Law University in Trichy. S Bharath, 17, a student of the govt tribal school in Pachamalai, achieved an All India ST rank of 964 in the CLAT recently and has been admitted to the LLB (Hons.) programme at the Tamil Nadu National Law University (TNNLU), Trichy. He qualified under the 7.5% reservation quota for govt school students. Expressing his appreciation, Stalin directed legal affairs secretary N R Elango to support the student's aspirations in the field of law. "Necessary assistance will be provided to Bharath's education until he completes his studies," Elango later posted on X. Bharath, a native of Thoonur village, is the eldest son of Selvakumar and Sudha. He lost his mother a decade ago and was raised by his father. He completed his schooling in Tamil medium, scoring 70% in Class 10 and 59% in Class 12 at the govt school in Chinna Illupur. Speaking to reporters, Bharath said he was inspired to pursue law after watching a movie in which a lawyer, like Dr B R Ambedkar, stands up for the oppressed.
