Anupama Hireholi lost her father a year ago, but that did not stop her from earning the top rank in the SSLC exams (class 10) in Karnataka. She comes from a poor family in a village in Belagavi district.
She is a student of Sri Kumareshwar English Medium High School in Saundatti, Belagavi district. She is one of four students in Karnataka, to get 625/625 marks in the SSLC exams.
Her father, Shreeshail Hireholi, an employee in the Saundatti Yallamma temple committee in Belagavi district, died suddenly when Anupama was in class 9. Her mother, Rajashree, is an employee in a private hospital.
