Thangamari, an alumna of Isha Vidhya
Tuticorin, has strived to do well academically
and was inspired by her school teachers to
venture into the textile business. She is
currently studying BBA (Bachelor of
Business Administration) at Raja Lakshmi
College of Arts and Science.
All her efforts and aspirations are driven by
her family situation. Her father is a daily
wage earner who is unable to undertake
strenuous work due to an old injury so her
mother works hard to make ends meet.
From childhood Thangamari was deeply
disturbed to witness her mother going
from door to door in the village, collecting
garbage to earn a living, but even that was
never enough.
Thangamari's parents were reassured in the
knowledge that Isha Vidhya was the custodian
for her education. Besides the scholarship that
gave her the confidence to strive and do well
academically, Thangamari liked Yoga, the
discipline, the environment, and all the
celebrations at Isha Vidhya.
She's all charged up to graduate and do well
professionally to alleviate her family's
standard of living.
