On his achievement, Srinath said: “I had been studying in this school since the eighth grade. Here at the school, right from the start, I had been acquiring training in the ways to secure the top place. They chose high-scoring students and additional interest and training were given. At the same time, instead of forcing people to study and bombarding them with lessons, they encouraged us to study whenever we felt like to.”
“I revised my lessons the day they were taught without fail. I followed the instructions provided my teachers. That helped me secure the state first place. Thanks to the encouragement provided by my parents and teachers, I was able to accomplish this feat. Thanks to them.”
