Shivamogga, May 17: Without the benefit of tuitions or guides, a boy from industrial town Bhadravathi in Shivamogga district on Monday produced a scorecard every student - and teacher - is proud of: a 100% score. With 625 out of 625 marks, Ranjan BS has become the first student to score cent percent in the SSLC examinations conducted by the Karnataka State Secondary Examination Board.

Ranjan's joy knew no bounds when he checked the result on the web around 3pm. The student from Poornapragna Higher Secondary School, Bhadravathi New Town, had scored 100% in all subjects. Bhadravathi - home to a paper mill and an iron-and-steel factory - is 270 km west of Bengaluru.

Ranjan worked hard to get a good score. His target, he says, was 600 marks. "I studied one subject for six hours daily. I studied till I was thorough in every aspect of all the chapters. I didn't go for tuitions or refer to guides. I solved question papers of previous years, so it supplemented what I studied," he said.

Once he had written the exams, there was no postmortem. "All my friends would discuss the question papers. I never did that. I thought I may have made some mistakes, but realized there was no point in talking about it after I had walked out of the examination hall."

He has a piece of advice for students: have a positive attitude before writing exams. "My achievement has given me a push to achieve excellence in medicine. I was expecting around 600 marks. But scoring cent per cent has given me a sense of fulfilment. It is due to the support given by my parents and school teachers," Ranjan said.

Son of TS Shankara Narayana, a tiles merchant, and SN Triveni, a homemaker, Ranjan studied at Poornapragna Higher Secondary School from LKG to class X. A favourite of all his teachers, he was praised for his interest level, skill in grasping and commitment to achieve excellence. His teachers said he always stood first in the class.

"We never forced him to study extra during exam time," his father said. Ranjan's friends presented him a statuette of former President APJ Abdul Kalam.

Bengaluru, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.
