Mangaluru: Bagging the first rank in BA (HRD)  from Mangalore University was an  extraordinary achievement for Adhish Uchil, a  visually impaired student. The announcement of Adhish’s name  during the 42nd Convocation of Mangalore University to  receive the first rank from governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot  was indeed a moment of joy for his parents.

A student from SDM College, Mangaluru, Adhish secured the  first rank in the BA (HRD) examination conducted by  Mangalore University in 2023.
 
He achieved a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 8.74.
Adhish, the son of Sudhir Uchil, an employee at MRPL, and  Gunashree Uchil from Mangaluru, said, “My teachers were very  supportive and helped me with study materials and guided me   on writing the exams.
 
Meanwhile, the non-visual desktop access (NVDA) kit on my  laptop helped me a lot by reading out all the study materials  to me whenever I needed,” he said. Meanwhile, it was Enable  India, an NGO in Bengaluru, that taught Adhish to use the so software. “As an attentive student in the class I prepared my notes diligently using the laptop. The teachers also shared with me the PPTs of the subjects they taught in classrooms,” he said.
