Kalburgi, May 17: For some people it may look bit unusual, but not for this proud father. He spent Rs around 25,000 to celebrate when his son passed SSLC with 51% marks. He called the entire village for it and held a procession with joy and pride.

The incident took place at Benakanahalli near here.

Devendrappa is the father of Arjun who passed SSLC recently. Devendrappa became extremely happy as Arjun is the first person in his family to pass this examination. He says he was not confident that his son would pass this exam. When he heard the positive news, he was so moved that he decided to hold a public celebration.

Devendrappa called for a vehicle, engaged a DJ with music and made all the arrangements one would do with big celebrations. He bought sweets and distributed to people. People too rejoiced and danced happily.

Arjun had stayed in a residential school in Yadagiri to complete his SSLC. He wants to do ITI and work in a cement factory that will come up in his village.

Devendrappa is a farmer and Arjun is the eldest among his three children.
