Mangalore, May 25: Prajwal S. of Alva's Kannada-Medium High School, Moodbidri, who had topped in this year's SSLC examination in Kannada medium in the State, was felicitated at Patrika Bhawan here on Friday.

Nagarika Hitarakshana Samithi and Sevanjali Trust felicitated him. He was presented with Rs. 10,000 cash in recognition of his achievement.

Samithi president G. Hanumantha Kamath, who took the initiative to felicitate the boy, said there was a need to recognise the achiever who hailed from a poor family in a rural area. Of the 625 marks, Prajwal had scored 613 marks by studying in Kannada medium, he said.

Pratjwal said that he would opt for Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Electronics (PCME) combination in Alva's Pre-University College this year. “I want to be an engineer,” he said.

Mr. Prajwal said that he had scored 125 out of 125 marks in Kannada, 100 in Social Science, 98 in English, 97 each in Mathematics and Hindi and 96 marks in Science.

He said that he studied up to Class 8 in his village Andinje, near Venoor in Belthangady taluk. He joined the Alva's Kannada Medium High School for class 9 after writing an entrance test. He was adopted by Mr. Alva under the foundation's adoption scheme. He obtained free education, boarding, and lodging facilities under the scheme.

“I used to study from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. regularly,” he said.

Prajwal said that his father, Sridhara Poojary, owned a petty shop at Andinje and mother Sujatha was a homemaker who rolled beedis. He had two younger brothers studying in class 8 and 9.

Bengaluru, Jun 23: In an attempt to avoid exploitation of patients affected with coronavirus, the Karnataka government on Tuesday announced fixing charges that could be collected from patients by the private hospitals for treatment in the State.

There are now two sets of rates for patients--those who are referred by public health facilities and those who approach private hospitals directly.

According to the notification issued by State Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar on Tuesday, 50 per cent of the total beds in private hospitals having facilities to treat Covid-19 patients shall be reserved for the treatment of patients referred by public health authorities.

This will include the high-dependency unit and ICU (intensive care unit) beds both with and without ventilators. The hospitals may utilise the remaining Covid beds for admitting Covid-19 patients privately.
