Meghalaya students who worked as labourers excel
Mysuru: Two students from Meghalaya, who wrote the SSLC examination as private candidates with Kannada as their first language, cleared the examination with flying colours. Prior to restarting their learning, they worked as labourers. Kitdor Lang Ngdup, 19, and Anamika Ghosh, who stopped her formal education after class VIII, are the two achievers. Ngdup, who hails from East Khasi Hills district in Meghalaya and was working as a labourer until two years ago, secured 539 marks, while Ghosh secured 374 marks. Both of them took Kannada as their first language and Sanskrit as their third language and wrote examinations in English. Ngdup studied until class VIII in a school run by Pejawar Mutt in Mysuru and was an inmate of the mutt. He dropped out of formal schooling when he was 14 years old. "During my stay at Pejawar Mutt, a volunteer, Ravi Kiran Rao, influenced me to pursue a good education. His words of encouragement made me restart my studies. I took two years to write the examination," he told TOI. Ngdup decided to join the PCMC combination in the I PUC and aims to become a computer scientist. Ghosh, who hails from Rilbong, Meghalaya, said she will pursue her higher studies in humanities. "I lost my mother during my high school days, and then I stopped my formal schooling," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo Ngdup and Ghosh have received support from Kaliyuva Mane , an organisation helping underprivileged students to clear exams such as SSLC and PUC.

Suhas Shetty's murder exposes govt's failure: Pejawar Swamiji
GANGAVATHI : The murder of Hindu activist Suhas Shetty in Mangaluru highlights the shortcomings of the state govt, according to Prasanna Theertha Swamiji, the head of Pejawar Mutt in Udupi . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Upon his arrival on Friday for a religious event, he voiced his concerns, stating, "This incident reflects the chaos within the state. The root cause of such occurrences is the erosion of public confidence in both the govt and the judiciary." Vishwa Prasanna Theertha Swamiji further remarked, "There is a growing trend of individuals taking justice into their own hands. While some engage in rioting, others respond with retaliation. This is not a singular event; many such events are unfolding. This scenario represents anarchy. Should the govt decide to take decisive action, there is hope that these shocking incidents will diminish." Swamiji lamented that the distrust in the govt and judicial system is responsible for events such as the killing of a senior police officer and the abuse of children in the state. "The judiciary, executive, legislature, and press need to adopt a unified strategy to combat this disorder," he insisted.
