The family’s financial background is very poor. Selvam is an easy going person and likes playing indoor games; more than studies he was more interested in drawing.

The Kalanjiyam placed teachers in school supported me tremendously. They helped me to prepare and I worked extra hard in the last three months before the 12^th board exams started.  He scored 720 out of 1200 in his board exams. Selvam shared, proudly said that he has secured the first mark in Accounts in his class.
