BENGALURU:
The son of a maidservant staying in Indiranagar, who scored 616 out of 625 in the recent SSLC exams, had a surprise visitor on Tuesday — none other than Education Minister S Suresh Kumar!
The minister praised the lad on his Facebook page and has promised him all help for his college education.
Mahesh, a student of the government-run Karnataka Public School (KPS) in Indiranagar, moved to Bengaluru from Yadgir 6 years ago. His widowed mother Mallamma works a housemaid.
Mahesh scored 100 in mathematics, 100 in Hindi and 125 in Kannada.
