Mysuru:  Mysuru boy B. Rachith Aiyappa, a fourth year undergraduate student at BITS, Goa, has been selected for the Charpak Research Internship Scholarship-2018 for a summer internship from May 16 to July 31 in France.

Speaking to SOM over phone he said, “I was in touch with Dr. Guy Theraulaz (Research Director at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) who will be supervising my internship at Centre de Recherches sur la Cognition Animale, University of Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France. He too suggested that I apply for Charpak scholarship.”

Rachith Aiyappa added that he has learnt so many new things (both academic and non academic) over the past three months which would not have happened had he not decided to apply for the scholarship.

Besides academics, Rachith  is also good at tennis and has won the Men’s Doubles Event and finished runner-up in the Men’s Singles Event of the All Goa Ranking Lawn Tennis Tournament, Gadre Gaspar Dias Open 2018 conducted by Clube Tennis de Gaspar Dias in association with the Goa State Tennis Association.

As far as academic plans are concerned, he said, “I do not plan to enrol myself in another degree immediately after graduating from BITS unless I find a need for it.”

Rachith Aiyappa is the son of A.M. Kushy, working as Principal at a city College and residing in Vijayanagar.
