Many students from rural areas have emerged district toppers in the Plus Two examinations, the results of which were announced on Thursday.

Yugathi Mariya (1,183) of NSVV Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Pattiveeranpatti; and X. Naveen Prabhakar (1,180) of Sri Krishna MHSS, Oddanchatram.
While the first and third rankers want to become doctors, the second rank holder of the commerce stream, wants to become a judge. While Dravidan, a native of Palani, was a day scholar, Naveen stayed in the school hostel. Maria says her Principal used to encourage them by giving gifts to meritorious students.
