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.
