Three Students from the Kopay Maha Vidyalayam (a school near the
Sri Subramuniya Kottam) has received the best results in the nationwide “Gread 5 Scholarship Exam”.
Sri Subramuniya Kottam honored these boys by giving them school books, backpacks and stationery on January 5th, Gurudeva’s Jayanthi Day.

In the midst of the horrible, ongoing war, these three students achieved the highest scores in the nation. Sadly, in recent days many schools in Jaffna have been closed down and become refugee camps.
Congratulations to these studious souls ! Shining examples of excellent performance in the midst of extreme adversity, and an embarrassment to those who enjoy an easier life yet do not study or achieve.
