Creating history with 12 centums
Suganya, the first graduate in her family, says her interest
in mathematics was encouraged by her school teachers
ACHIEVEMENT: R. Suganya of Bharathiar University
Coimbatore: R. Suganya, who just passed out of L.R.G. Government
Arts College, Tirupur, with a B.Sc. Mathematics degree, has
created a history of sorts.
She has scored centums in all the five subjects in her last
semester. Not only this. Suganya has scored 100 marks in 12
papers in six semesters. According to Vice-Chancellor of Bharathiar
University G. Thiruvasagam, this is a record of sorts. “Nobody
in the history of the university has scored centums in all the
papers in a semester. I am very proud of her. The credit goes
to her and her college faculty,” he told The Hindu. Suganya
is the first graduate in her family. Her father is a utensils
vendor, while her mother works in a garment factory. She says
her interest in mathematics was encouraged by her school teachers
who taught the subject in a very simple manner.
She joined B. Sc. after completing her school education in Tamil
medium. With sheer determination and hard work, she excelled
in her studies without having to take tuitions. “I knew I will
get good marks. But, I did not expect centum in all the papers,”
she says. Having landed a job, Suganya has decided to continue
her studies after sometime. The Vice-Chancellor has assured
her of a seat in any course of her choice if she wished to pursue
her studies, as she was not only a meritorious candidate, but
also a deserving one. “She is an example of a person who has
achieved in spite of many odds. There can be no excuse for not
excelling in studies. Language and poverty cannot be excuses.
Suganya has proved it.”
Suganya too shares the same sentiments. “Once you know
the fact that you have to study in a new language, you have
to accept it and give it your best. Nothing can stop you from
excelling,” she says.
