Just received results from the recent Karnataka State Board Exams (Std X) for students at the Shanbhag School in Kumta, Karnataka. The students have brought in another spectacular performance! Congratulations! Our gratitude also to the teachers who do a fabulous job, every day!
Summary of Results:
74 students appeared for the X Std, Karnataka State Board Exams, 2009:
- Highest score of 96.5%
- 20/74 students scored greater than 90%
- 70/74 scored greater than 60%
- 4/74 scored between 50 and 60%
- No student in the entire class failed the X Std Board exams
Of the two Shanbhag Scholarship recipients in the graduating class, one received 90.4% and the other 69.92%. Excellent performers and we are elated to have contributed marginally to their studies. I hope they go out and be as successful in college and in life.
I don’t expect our scholarship recipients, the very needy, to be at the top of the class, but we have given them an opportunity to study alongside the best students, at the best school. And they held their own. The network effects of this alone are worthwhile. This is akin to bringing deserving students to study at Harvard. You wouldn’t expect them at the top of the class, but just being here, they gain tremendously. Exactly that!
I am still collecting funds to support scholarships for needy students at the school. If you would like to make a small contribution, please let me know.

Thank you Sonu:Our family has been really passive about this; its the
teachers and the management who do all the work.
But I actually feel good about giving needy students the opportunity to
pursue an excellent education.
Thank you for your kind words.

Congratulations Arun!!!. I believe your line regarding the network effects is very true.
To my mind, your scholarships provide the needy with the knowledge of the opportunities that are available and give them a choice which otherwise would not have been given to them.
Thank you kindly Navin!
We are always trying to do more. See if you can help in any small way.
Our next goal is: how do we help the needy once they pass the SSC? What about college?
Sure Arun. I would be more that happy to help you in whatever way i can.
