Kundapur :

Who says you cannot master your mother tongue in a foreign land?

A Class 10 student, who was born in Karnataka but did most of her early schooling outside the state, has proved that no formal training is needed when it comes to love for your mother tongue.

Shreya, who is currently studying in Kundapur of Udupi District in Karnataka, has scored 99 out of 100 in Kannada in her board exams.

This despite the fact that Kannada was not a part of her curriculum during most part of her school education.

She has scored 600 out of 625 marks in the SSLC Class 10 exam.

Starting her education at Mumbai’s St Xavier’s play school, Shreya has studied in Lagos (Nigeria), Tanzania, Uganda, Kundapur (Karnataka), Nairobi (Kenya), Hubli (Karnataka) and Druck (Bhutan).

Shreya started her schooling from Mumbai’s St Xavier’s play school, then did her LKG in Lagos (Nigeria). She completed her UKG, 1st and 2nd standard in Tanzania, 3rd standard in Uganda.

She returned to India for a year and did her 4th standard from Kundapur.

She did the first term of her 5th standard in Nairobi, and second term in Hubli of Karnataka.

For 6th and 7th standard she was in Tumkur and for 8th and 9th standard in Bhutan’s Druck.

Finally, she returned to Kundapur for her SSLC.

Delighted with her result, she credits her teachers and parents for helping in Kannada. Like her father, Shreya also wants to be a Chartered Accountant.
