Two other outstanding students were also rewarded with Rs 10,000 each.
Speaking at the occasion, Shyamkumar stated that his decision to reward students belonging to Andro A/C who can secure 1st to 3rd rank in the HSLC Exam with Rs 10 lakh still stands.
Saying this, he exhorted all the students of his home constituency to study hard with a strong sense of competitiveness.
The reward given today would definitely help the student in her further studies.
