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.

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