PUDUKKOTTAI: He resolved to become a doctor after watching his father lose his battle to cancer at a young age. Financial woes engulfed Partheebadasan’s family and his mother took up the mantle of providing for the family. There were many ups and downs along the way and years went by, but the one things that remained constant was Partheebadasan’s resolve to ace the boards to pursue his dreams. And he did it in style.
The Dalit boy scored enough marks in the Plus Two examinations to invite offers from several engineering colleges across the State, but nothing could deter him from his path and he finally ended up in the PSG College at Coimbatore through the Tamil Nadu Single Window Medical Counselling two years ago.
Partheebadasan’s family had little financial foundation and suppport was nowhere on the horizon. It was left to his 45-year-old mother, Padma, to eke out a living by doing odd jobs as an agricultural worker. The work was as unreliable as the weather and there was no guarantee of a stable income. However, Partheebadasan grew up with his two siblings in the small, dingy hut at Adi Dravidar Colony in the panchayat, always making sure that nothing hampered his studies. Partheebadasan desires to become a cardiologist and start a clinic in the panchayat.
