Hubballi girl secures fourth rank in Arts stream

Ineshka Nadugaddi, 4th rank holder in II PU Arts stream, aims for Civil Services with family's support.

Ineshka Nadugaddi, student of Shri Kadasiddeshwar Arts College and H.S. Kotambri Science Institute, Hubballi, has secured the fourth rank at the State-level in the Arts stream of II PU examination, the results of which were announced on Tuesday.

Ineshka scored 100 marks each in History, Economics, Political Science and Geography, 98 in Hindi and 96 in English.

Ineshka is the daughter of Franjala Naveen Nadugaddi, a former teacher, who is now into small-time catering. Ineshka lost her father some years ago.

When the results were announced, Ineshka, along with her mother, was in Bengaluru in their search for a good college, as she wants to prepare for the Civil Services.

Ineshka said that she studied regularly for two-three hours during college and during study holidays before the examination, she studied for 18 hours a day.

“Ineshka’s grandparents Hemanth Kiran Gundami and Prasanna H. Gundami could not control their emotions on hearing about Ineshka’s success,” said her mother Franjala speaking to The Hindu over telephone.

She said that her daughter was studious from the beginning and prepared well for the examination. Franjala wants to shift her catering business to Bengaluru, if Ineshka gets admission in a good college there, which she believes will help her in preparing for the Civil Services.
