Amit Malar from Karnataka who topped the SSLC Examinations with 625 out of 626 says his success is due to Sanskrit
<p>
<strong>It is not every day that a student scores 625 out 626 in the Secondary School Leaving Certificate examinations. That is what Amit Madar who comes from the Jumanaala village in the Vijayapura district, Karnataka did.</strong></p>
<p>
The 16-year-old boy who joined his village&rsquo;s Government High School had set his eyes on becoming the State topper and was keen to see his name on the school&rsquo;s topper board. Talking about him, his elder brother, Kenchappa said that is what motivated him.</p>
<p>
Sharing details with the media, Kenchappa said: &ldquo;Madar doesn&rsquo;t talk much but his work speaks a lot. Since I am pursuing B.Ed in Sanskrit, we both converse in Sanskrit at home. He has learnt over 100 Sanskrit verses and he believes it has increased his memory power. Moreover, he is a yoga practitioner. This has contributed significantly to his academic performance.&rdquo;</p>

Madar got first place in a district-level Sanskrit competition.</p>
<p>
Son of a single parent, Madar lost his father seven years ago and his mother works hard as a labourer in Vijayapura to bring up her children.</p>
<p>
Fond of volleyball, Madar could not continue the sport due to lack of money and so he concentrated on his studies. &ldquo;I usually keep my entire focus on studying and I study for 6-8 hours a day. I was really tense about scoring in science because learning this subject was a challenge. I would like to pursue engineering or medicine in the future.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
Apart from studies, Madar helps his mother and family by doing household chores like fetching water and getting milk.</p>
<p>
Describing Madar as sharp and promising, C.A. Rudragoudar, a retired headmaster of the Government High School in Jumanaala, said: &ldquo;He comes from a very economically backward family. However, he performs very well in academics and extracurricular activities. His favourite subject is mathematics.&rdquo;</p>
