Karnataka SSLC result 2021: Mother-son duo from Sakleshpur aces exam together – Education News

A mother-son duo from Sakleshpur in Hassan district has made history by appearing for and clearing together the Certificate (SSLC) exams, which were held by the Karnataka Secondary Education Examination Board.

While CN Theertha scored 235, her son BR Hemanth got 562. They are from Lakshmipura village, around 10 km from the taluk centre, and appeared for the exams together. Theertha enrolled as a private candidate and prepared for the exam with her son referring to his notes.

Theertha had joined a private high school at Ballupet whereas her son Hemanth was studying at Sri Malleshwara (aided) high school at Valalahalli. This is the second consecutive year she decided to take up the exam. Theertha had discontinued her studies after class 8. Her husband Rajendra is a farmer and they have a 4-year-old daughter.

Her father-in-law stays with them. “I have always been interested in studies, but the poor economic condition of our family stopped me from pursuing it further. But this time, my husband, father-in-law and villagers — all supported me when they got to know I am appearing for SSLC exams this time,” Theertha said.
