Udupi, 2 Jun 2014: Deeksha, Kannada medium student residing in a remote village that comes under Palimar gram panchayat, who hails from poverty-stricken family secured 96.8 percent (605 marks) in SSLC exam held recently.
Deeksha’s father Suresh Poojary is a painter by profession and mother supplements family income by bidi rolling.
Speaking to this reporter, Deeksha said, ‘I was expecting 610 marks but I got short of 5 marks that is my worry.

I aspire to become an engineer,’ said Deeksha.
