Failed in SSLC exams? Entrepreneur offers free stay in Kodaikanal

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Fret not if you haven’t cleared the SSLC examinations. It’s time to forget all the stress and relax at Kodaikanal. Malayali Sudheesh K, who is settled in the famous Tamil Nadu hill station, is offering a fully paid vacation to you and family.

To help students who failed in the class 10 examinations deal with the stress and get refreshed, Sudheesh, who is fondly called Sudhi, is offering free accommodation at his homestays and properties in Kodaikanal. Students can arrive with their parents and spend two days at any of his properties free of cost. It’s Sudhi’s way of extending moral support to students going through a crisis.

Ever since Sudhi shared his unique initiative on social media on Wednesday, his phone has been ringing non-stop. Students, educationists and families are calling him from across the state to learn more about his initiative.

“Ever since the Class 10 results were announced, there has been a lot of victory sharing in social circles. What we often do not see is the other side of this. There is a segment that is being ostracised and ridiculed for having failed,” says Sudhi who runs Hammock in Kodaikanal.

“So, I thought of offering something in my capacity to help them deal with the crisis,” says Sudhi.

Sudhi, a native of Vadakara in Kozhikode, has been living in Kodaikanal since 2006 with his family.
