High admissions, five sets of twins bring double delight to Sullia school
Mangaluru: The Government High School, Yenmoor, in Murulya village, Sullia, is now home to five pairs of twins, four in class eight and one in Class 10, creating an unusual and delightful sight of identical faces and shared milestones in the school.
The school currently has two pairs of twin girls and three pairs of twin boys. In class eight, the twins include Chayan and Chayank, Hiba Fathima and Shifa Fathima, Yashwin and Yashwith, and Fathimath Asna and Aminath Husna. In class 10, Bhavan and Bhavin complete the lineup of lookalike batchmates.
Headmaster Titus Varghese, who is also an award winning teacher, told TOI that the school recorded its highest-ever admissions this year, with 90 students joining class eight.
Among them are four sets of twins. "To ensure individual attention and minimise confusion, we have placed each twin in separate sections. Twins often wear similar clothes and carry identical belongings, which can confuse teachers or lead to playful pranks.
Separating them allows us to focus better on each student," he explained.
Adding to the fun, the school plans to host a special twin-themed activity during children's day.

"We want to make learning engaging. One of the games will involve students identifying each twin by name. It is fun and helps everyone bond," the headmaster said.
Yenmoor is not just any village; it holds cultural significance in Tulunadu as the place where the legendary twin heroes, Koti and Chennaya, are believed to have died in combat. Their 'Adi Garadi' still stands there, adding a historical layer to the school's unique twin story.
The headmaster credits the surge in admissions to the school's active promotion of science and tech-based learning. "Last year, we hosted a science mela that drew nearly 100 students from nearby areas. Every classroom is now a smart class, equipped with projectors and digital tools. Last year we had 53 admissions; this year it rose to 90, possibly the highest among govt and private schools in the area," he said.
Total strength of the school is 230 students. It places strong emphasis on extracurricular activities, including sports, culture, and overall development of the school. Students have even participated in state-level events and won awards, other than winning district-level prizes. The faculty too have been winning prizes in various events. Amid this, the school is in need of more development, including better playground and a toilet block.
