She is differently abled and scored 85% in her Pre-University examination and through timely assistance from Mr. Manjunath Bhandary, the Chairman, who generously handed over a cheque to her, joined the MBBS course. Now a year later, this admirable young woman has again secured a first class in her MBBS examination from SIMS, Shivamogga.
