A first division assistant of Kuvempu University has set a record of sorts by not taking even a day’s leave in his 27-year-long service.
Somashekhar P.C., who was appointed on May 8, 1995 as a junior assistant, is set to retire in June this year. All these years, he did not take a day’s break. All his leave is intact. He has not gone out of the office even for a coffee during working hours.
“I did not attend any family event on working days. I never purchased a bike or any property, as it requires me to apply for leave to complete the registration formalities,” Mr. Somashekhar told The Hindu.
