His mother is a vegetable cutter in the same mess he eats but that didn’t stop him from securing the second highest marks in MPC in Telangana this year.

Student of Narayana College, Hayatnagar, Venkata Sai Chandra with 991 marks is certainly an inspiration for those who come from underprivileged backgrounds to achieve against all odds. A student of Narayana College, Hayathnagar, he said seeing his mother working in the college mess was a big inspiration to study better rather than a let down, which many youngsters consider.

College principal Rama Rao said Sai Chandra was given free education and he proved his worth. Hailing from Mothe mandal near Suryapet, he is now waiting for IIT results and is confident of making it.

Narayana Educational Institutions have recorded highest pass percentage in both junior and senior Intermediate exams with as many as 8 students scoring the State highest mark of 467 in first year and 67 students securing 466 marks in the MPC stream.

In a statement here, director of the group Sharani Narayana said that in the second year exams 3 students scored 992 out of 1000 marks, six scored 991 while 20 students scored 990 marks. In the BPC stream 991 was the highest mark and 13 students scored marks above 988, she said.
