Naveen S.G., the medical student from Karnataka who was killed in shelling in Kharkiv, Ukraine, had studied in Nanjangud in Mysuru district though he belonged to Haveri district as his father was working in a factory in the temple town.

Kept contact

His teachers described him as a meritorious and obedient student. His teachers expressed shock over the tragedy as the management of Unity PU College in Nanjangud was in touch with the student worried about his safety after the crisis broke out in Ukraine.

Rammohan E.K., Kannada lecturer in the college, said Naveen was a 2016-17 batch student who scored 556 in first PU and 553 in second PU. “I remember his smile. He was a meritorious student. His father worked at SIPM and therefore he studied in the town. He topped in SSLC in Adarsha School. I’m shocked that the student I taught is no more,” the heartbroken lecturer said. Naveen had taken coaching for NEET in the college as his dream was to become a doctor.
