s.udayaraj is a topper in Selam district in the higher secondary
examination.However,he was refused a seat in a medical college for
the simple reason that he is a Srilankan refugee.
Udayaraj, son of a Srilankan refugee ,scored 49.58 in biology and
47.08 in physics by burning the candle at both ends during the
entrance examination.His effort did not go waste as he was called
for medical counselling. But Udayaraj was denied admission after
counselling as there was no seat for refugees allotted in any of
professional courses in the state.The high-spirited boy scored 1,137
marks in the highersecondary examination with a centum(100) in biology and chemistry.
Speaking to reporters on Friday,Udayaraj said, "For the last four months,
I have been under a gridlle of stress as I really want to become a doctor."
Seeking the chief minister's intervention, Udayaraj said, "She has helped
hundreds of students for their education but I am worried as there is no
such help in my case".
Mr.Sivalingam father of Udayaraj,said the representations and petitions to the
higher officials of the Goverment had gone in vain. He said that he came
to Rameswarm in 1990 with his wife and two children and now his only wish was
to see his son earning a degree in medicine to serve the poor. Udayaraj is
currently helping his daily wage earning father father in collecting firewood
in Melur district. Teachers of the Government Higher Secondary School at
Melur provided clothes and helped him to join a coaching centre
