Sreedhanya completed her early education from St. Joseph’s College in Calicut. After this, she moved to Kozhikode to study zoology and then returned to Calicut University for a master’s degree. Though she had always been talented, the lack of resources made her struggle even more difficult.
Government job and dream
After completing her master’s degree, Sridhanya got an appointment in the state government’s Scheduled Tribe Development Department, where she worked as a warden in a hostel for tribal students. However, she was not completely satisfied with her job despite the good salary. She had big dreams and decided to make another attempt towards her goal.
Fulfill your dream with the help of friends
