S Kavya Shree with her parents B Siddaramu and Meenakshi MYSORE: Visually challenged S Kavya Shree worked diligently for her Doctoral Thesis and was awarded a PhD by the University of Mysore (UoM) for her research work on, 'Dynamics of Administration in Karnataka with Special Reference to Kengal Hanumanthaiah's Regime'. With a keen interest in Political Science, she was greatly influenced by the administrative skills of the former chief minister of Karnataka, late Sri Kengal Hanumanthaiah. Explaining her success, she said: "Though I have faced several problems in the beginning, I took it as a challenge and dedicated myself to get this PhD. I completed my schooling in Kannada medium. Later, I learnt English. I wish to study further and do a post doctoral research," she said, detailing her future plans."I have received a lot of support from friends and teachers in my venture," she said and thanked her parents B Siddaramu, a retired Commercial Tax Inspector and Meenakshi, a housewife. Claiming to be the first visually challenged woman in the state to get a PhD, she is now seeking a job as government teacher. "Her blindness did not deter her dreams of pursuing a PhD. Her dream was to become an IAS officer, but owing to financial and physical constraints, it was not possible," said her mother, Meenakshi. "Hanumanthaiah is a torchbearer for today's politicians. He has laid a strong foundation for other politicians to follow," said Kavya. -- Avinash Shahi M.Phil Research Scholar Centre for The Study of Law and Governance Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi India Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
