She had to leave school at 9 to care for her siblings.
Then came marriage, widowhood and the responsibility of raising six children alone.
For decades, education remained a dream she could not return to.
Then, at 105, she got another chance.
Through Kerala’s State Literacy Mission, she enrolled in the Class 4 equivalency programme and began studying again, nearly a century after leaving school.
Because of her age, she wrote the examination from home over three days.
She scored 205 out of 275, including a perfect 75/75 in Mathematics.
Her achievement made her the oldest learner in the Kerala State Literacy Mission to clear the equivalency examination and earned her the Nari Shakti Puraskar.
She may have left school at 9, but she never left her dream of learning behind.

@raghav_chadha Credit monger , what did you do to support the cause and now you are shamelessly tweeting about government listning , where were they and where were you for a month ?
@asliarpita@RahulGandhi Proud andhbhakt , what is that by the way ?
An educated mind is always rational and open .A bhakt by defination is someone who has kept his reason and analysis aside and is committed to follow an ideology , person or party .
Having degrees never means one is educated .
@payalmehta100 So stupidity of some accomplished and seemingly educated person can't and shouldn't be criticised ? When a person of science talks about gomutra , cowdunk and cows exahaling oxygen people should bow and listen . By the way for me all politicians are alike .
@raghav_chadha I wish we had 547MP like You. You should never make the mistake of joining the BJP or congress . Their focus is to grab power and mint money for themselves and spend part of it to buy votes again like the present rulers are doing in the name of nationalism .
@raghav_chadha ÀAP is totally hijacked by sycophants and noisy goons ...It was the only party I donated money to ...Alas what a tragedy that instead of talking sense and public welfare they have focused only on opposing and abusing others ...People like Raghav Chadha are the sane voices .
Busting the IIT placement myth: Many believe that joining an IIT guarantees success. After 4 years, 23% of India’s topmost students are left holding nothing than an IIT tag. IIT name doesn't get you a job. It is the course that you do that gets you a job.
Here is a thread:
Indian politics has come to its lowest ebb ...while those in opposition are falling to new lows with words while those in power are defining new lows with their deeds ...mockery of constitution and democracy all over and this aggression is so sinisterous for a rational citizen 😮
