| When a person dreams of achieving something in life, hard work is inevitable. You are a perfect example. Congratulations!! Kudi Vasantha Shetty, headmaster of Sri Vishnumurthy High School at Kudi village. Udupi district, a former student of St. Lawrence High School Moodubelle has been chosen for the national-level Best Teacher Award. I know Vasantha Shetty from his high school days from Moodubelle. I am really proud of his achievements. Sitting next to him in the class (those days) I know how well organized he is, as a student and especially in Kannada language and elocution. No doubt a great scholar of Kannada, head master par excellence and now national award will summon up his personality, hard work, dedication in the field of education and the betterment of the students of the high school. Well done Sir, (Danikulu…) | |

| Yes its true he is an Excellent HeadMaster Teacher.Under his leadership Kudi High School made a remark at our village.He used to organise special classes for SSLC students for Final Exams whole night to avoid laziness and maintain discipline at home.even I heard that single student failed and institution could not achieve 100% results almost 15yrs back, so he got tears in his eyes.Really he is a great teacher.I do remember he is a fabulous speaker on stage and very interesting to listen his speach.He is a very kind person and deserves this Award. | |
