Ms. C Sreedevi
Sixteen year old Ms. C Sreedevi from a tribal settlement in Annamalai Tiger Reserve became the first in her community to secure 95 percent in Class 10 board exams. Ms. C Sreedevi from Poochukottamparai tribal settlement in Udumalpet range of Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) in Tirupur district beat all odds by clearing the Class X board exams from a residential school in Kerala’s Chalakudy, and will now pursue higher secondary education. Her achievement is an exception for girls from her community as most tribal students from her village drop out after elementary of middle school.
