Muthulakshmi's parents decided to leave her daughter to her interests, despite the fact that the girls were discriminated against. Muthulakshmi completed her education against the traditional methods of getting married after she got older.

She passed the matriculation with a high mark. But there were many difficulties ahead of his desire to study at the Maharaja's College, Chennai. Even the application was rejected early. Parents of other students came across the barrier. The only reason she was a girl was that it was all behind her... They have overcome all these obstacles and have completed their studies.
