Two young women from the twin cities of Hubballi Dharwad have made their city proud by clearing the civil services examination conducted by UPSC, the results of which were announced on Tuesday.
While Soubhagya Beelagimath, who has completed B.Sc (Agri) from UAS, Dharwad, has bagged the 101st rank, Krupa Jain of Hubballi, an engineering graduate, has cleared the examination with a ranking of 440.
Soubhagya Beelagimath, a native of Davangere, has made Dharwad her home. Her mentor, Professor Ashwini of the Department of Food Micro Biology at UAS, Dharwad, guided her to pursue her dream of cracking the Civil Services exam after her graduation. Soubhagya Beelagimath has succeeded in her second attempt.
Soubhagya Beelagimath’s father, Sharanayyaswamy, a native of Koppal, runs a nursery at Shamanur in Davangere district, while her mother, Sharanamma, is a home-maker.
Her elder brother, Renuka Prasad, is an audiologist at KIMS in Hubballi.
Soubhagya Beelagimath, who did not go for any coaching to prepare for the examination, owes her success to her mentor Prof. Ashwini, who has also mentored another student to become an IPS officer.
