Talking to TNIE, Muthumari said, “After the demise of my father, who was sole breadwinner of my family, it was my mother Kaliammal who took care of the family by working as a daily wage labourer and doing household works. My mother and teachers were very supportive.”
Her class teacher Balakrishnan, said, “Muthumari is very a talented girl. From the beginning, she was very studious. After her father took ill, she started taking many leaves and was visibly upset in classroom. But, I’m very confident that she would do well in her future.”
