Deebha has been dabbling
with colors since childhood,
encouraged by parents,
despite the fact that no one
in her family is artistically
inclined. She enjoys painting
landscapes the most and
prefers to use pastel colors
because she believes they
give her drawings a more
natural look. Naturally, the
art and craft class is dear to
her, and her favorite artist
is Raja Ravi Varma.
Deebha has won awards at
both the national and district
levels in art competitions, and
she was also chosen for the
wall painting at Chennai Airport
for the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
This multi-talented student has
also won awards in scientific
and athletic competitions. She
says that the numerous art
competitions held at school as
well as various locations has
helped her hone her skills while
receiving encouragement and
motivation from her teachers.
A Class 11 student at Isha Vidhya
Villupuram, Deebha is studying on
a merit scholarship for her
above-average grades in Class 10.
She intends to pursue further
studies in Computer Science while
continuing to nurture her love of
painting.

Fulfiling Her Father's Dreams And His Last Words
By Venkat Ramakrishnan | Project Leader

Praveena-17-04-2021
Praveena lost both her parents in a
span of five years but it is her father's
dreams and his last words that make
her strive to do well in studies and
become an IAS officer.
Although she wasn't a class topper,
perhaps because of her bereavements,
Praveena's ambition has always been
to pursue a career in the Civil Services.
She admires Mr. Sagayam, a former IAS
officer who was reputed for being honest
and appreciated for his anti-corruption
activities.
After studying on a scholarship at Isha
Vidhya Tuticorin, Praveena is now
pursuing her Undergraduate studies
in English at V.O. Chidambaram College
of Arts and Science, Tuticorin, because
she loves languages.
Praveena says she will forever be
grateful to the donor who ensured that
she could study at Isha Vidhya with no
financial worries especially since her
paternal uncle (her guardian) was under
immense family pressure to send
Praveena and her sister to a government
school after her father's demise.
As an IAS officer, Praveena wants to
ensure better emergency medical
services – her father's untimely demise
was due to the lack of it.
If you would like to support Isha Vidhya
to enable more and more students like
Praveena, please consider starting a
monthly recurring donation for a small
amount at:

for Isha Vidhya, and we look forward
for your continued support.
Thanks & Best Regards,

Starting Young Towards Success

Lekshmi is currently studying in
Grade 12 at Isha Vidhya Nagercoil.
She's preparing for writing her
UPSC India exams. Lekshmi is
motivated by IAS officers who
started their services at an young
age, and wants to emulate them.
Besides being a school leader,
Lekshmi was a topper in Grade10
scoring 94%, and received prizes
from the District Collector and the
Daily Thanthi newspaper!
Lekshmi, who is an orphan, says
excelling in academics is the only
option available to her and finds
practicing Yoga every day at school
relaxing.
This multi-talented student has won
prizes at a national level drawing
competition, in discus throw,
throwball, kho kho, essay writing,
and an elocution competition at the
district level.
Lekshmi plans to study geography
in her Undergraduate program, as
it will be useful in preparing for her
UPSC exams. Once she becomes
an IAS officer, she hopes to achieve
recognition through her work.
We need lots of young people like
Lekshmi who can take up administrative
services roles in India, to help govern
the districts and societies. We are
extremely happy that there are many
students from Isha Vidhya, who would
like to take up IAS !
In order to enable us support such
ambitious students, and to be continually
part of Isha Vidhya’s rural education
work, please consider starting a monthly
recurring donation for a small amount,
which will go a long way in supporting
our work.
