THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

What better example do you need to prove that an individual can take the name of an institution along with him to the pinnacle of glory? Meet Master. M. Pranay Kumar, the all India 8th Rank holder in the prestigious IIT- JEE examination held in the month of April 2009.

He is a precious product of this Vidyalaya.
A product worth billions.

Pranay is one of those rare few who live their dreams. The teachers in this Vidyalaya had traced marks of excellence in him the moment he stepped in. He was, and is, exceptionally brilliant, extremely polite and superlatively versatile. Though not seen much on the play field, he took active part in the curricular and co-curricular activities that helped him hone his skills. He was the topper of his class throughout his stay in this Vidyalaya. His pro-active attitude attracted many friends. He would spell magic on the audience with his awesome oratory. Above all, he remained a ‘decent disciple’ of his teachers.

As far as subjects, he liked Mathematics and Science. That was proved right with his scoring 100 out of 100 in Maths in class X Board Exams, a feat that no other student of this Vidyalaya has ever achieved. Till date he holds the highest percentage [95.6] among the class X Toppers. This stupendous performance fetched him “Pratibha Award” instituted by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. And that was the first feather in his cap.

After class X, he joined Narayana College, Dilsukh Nagar, Hyderabad for his Intermediate education. In no time, he was identified as the ‘top notch’ among meritorious students and was trained intensively by a team of experienced teachers. As a result, he scored 459 out of 470 in First Year and 495 out of 530 in the Second Year.

But, the moments of glory came when he secured All India 8th and 48th Ranks in IIT-JEE and AIEEE entrance exams respectively. Our joy knew no bounds when the news spread. It was a dream come true. At a tender age, Pranay has made his parents, teachers and his Alma Mater proud. When asked he said, “All that I am today is because of my parents, teachers and my friends. I owe them a lot. I cherish and treasure this moment for a long long time to come.”

And this is modesty at its best. And that’s how he is.

Three cheers to PRANAY.
