Anthony Clinton, from his childhood was very curious to learn things. All his school teachers had much love for him and always encouraged his talents. Attracted by the boy’s talents and recognizing the family condition, his profiles were sent for sponsorship, when he was just promoted to fourth grade.

 Throughout the years, Anthony Clinton enjoyed all the benefits of sponsorship and was able to gain lots of new knowledge, information on many matters useful for his future and also opportunities to be active in meetings and camps. He was very glad that he developed public speaking abilities for which he is very grateful to CSP. He participated in debates, cultural activities and sports. He bagged many prizes for mime competition, mono acting, state level drama competition and Inter-College football competition. He was honored with ‘the Outstanding Parliamentarian Award’ at youth parliament organized by Rotary Club. He won the best Teacher Award from Tata Class Edge Company, the best Organizer Award by various school levels.

 Anthony Clinton progressed well and brought joy and made proud to all. After successfully completing second-year Pre University Course in May 2011, he joined to the three-year Bachelor of Science degree course at the Sahyadri College of Shimoga. In December 2014, he successfully finished this degree course by scoring first class marks. As his ambition was to become a College Lecturer, he chose to study the two-year Bachelor of Education course. In between he also underwent a short term advanced computer course. In May 2018, after completing the Bachelor of Education, he decided to take up the post graduate degree course for Master of Science with Mathematics as his major subject. He was again successful in his studies and in May 2020 concluded his education by passing all the exams of Master of Science course. With this Anthony Clinton had passed the milestone of Education and was looking forward to begin his career as lecturer.
