Hello
Host Maharashtra came a distant second with 69 points.
The 21-year-old Athulya was widely tipped as a future champion for Kerala in throw events, but her dream of conquering new distances in her chosen sport never materialised in the absence of support from any quarters.
However, the decision to limit the number of fresh seats to 227 this year will stay.
A proposal has been made to expel as many as 231 existing students on the grounds of poor performance.
Mar Basil Higher Secondary School, Kothamangalam, finished first among schools with a tally of 62 points.
The decision was taken on the basis of the findings of the three-member expert team appointed by the state government to probe the death of Plus One student Abheel Johnson in a freak accident during the State Junior Athletic Meet at Pala.
Sports Minister E P Jayarajan informed the Assembly that broad guidelines for sports meets would be formulated by incorporating the suggestions put forth by experts at the discussion organised by Malayala Manorama to support safe participation in sport.
The probe team had found that accident-prone events hammer throw and javelin were conducted at the same time side by side and one contest was started even before the other had concluded.
The deceased, Abheel Johnson, a Plus-One student of St Thomas Higher Secondary School, Pala, had been battling for life at the Kottayam Medical College.
Sharika, 19, and her family currently live in a broken-down shelter with plastic roofing on a five-cent plot at Mathamangalam near Pattanakkad, and she is forced to sleep in the toilet, the only structure with concrete walls and roof at her half-built house.
