Multifaceted Vijayalakshmi wins special award

V. Vijayalakshmi was recently presented with a special award by the Brigade Group Rotary Bangalore Midtown Young Achiever Program. “Vijayalakshmi, or Viji,
as she is known to her family and friends, is visually challenged. But Viji is no ordinary girl - as borne out by her remarkable achievements and her unyielding
spirit ... in recognition of her inspiring example of great spirit, perseverance and hard work, we are honoured to present V. Vijayalakshmi with a special
award,” reads the awards citation.

Vijayalakshmi has Master’s degrees in English Literature and in Carnatic Music. She also has completed the Kovida exam, which is the highest degree offered
at her university for proficiency in Sanskrit. She is presently pursuing a doctoral programme, with the topic of her research being the impact of technology
on the teaching of Carnatic classical music, no doubt drawing on her practical experience of using the Internet and video applications to teach music to
students across the globe.

[Editor’s Note: For us, it is a special matter of pride that Vijayalakshmi is also a Retina India member.]
