Karnataka: MLA’s ‘Super 60’ scheme successful, students shine

Bengaluru: Under the ‘Super 60’ scheme, 60 students studying SSLC were given special training at Perseverance NEET Academy. A press release from Perseverance NEET Academy on Thursday said the trained students have made Chikkaballapur district and their institutions proud by passing with good marks. The academy said that Chikkaballapur district is educationally backward and MLA Pradeep Ishwar came up with an innovative scheme called ‘Super 60’ in the district. Under this, 60 children from poor families, orphans and single parent children studying in government schools of Chikkaballapur constituency were selected (with permission) and trained. The SSLC results have shown that the MLA’s scheme has been an unprecedented success, the release said. MLA Pradeep Ishwar personally met the students and congratulated those who passed with good marks under the scheme. “The Super 60 scheme was launched keeping in mind the fact that the standard of living of any family needs to develop, which means a good education to the children,” Easwar said. The academy said the MLA gave a scholarship of Rs 1,000 to 3,000 students.
