Puttur, May 1: There was joyous celebration at Endosulfan day care centre in Koila, after its two inmates overcame all obstacles to pass SSLC examinations on Tuesday, April 30.

Manoj, son of Bhaskar Gowda and Revathi scored first class (64 percent) in SSLC examinations. Manoj, who is 85 per cent disabled, wrote the examinations with the help of his scribe Mayur. Interestingly Manoj, who has undergone four surgeries, never sought any subject exemptions and faced the examinations like any other student.

Manoj is keen on securing a government job in order to look after his elderly parents.

Revathi, who is grinning from ear to ear, is keen on pursuing PU. Both Manoj and Revathi had decided to write their examinations at government school in Uppinangady. However, Deputy Director of Public Instruction (DDPI) Y Shivaramaiah intervened and ensured that they wrote their examinations at a school in Ramakunja, which was close to their day care centre for Endosulfan victims in Koila in Puttur taluk.
