Kuttiyamma, a citizen of Kottayam Thiruvanchoor Ayarkunnam panchayat, had never visited the school and had only recently begun attending literacy sessions at her home, which ended upgetting 89 out of 100 and qualifying to write the class 4 exam. T.K Konthi, her late husband, died in 2002. She went to Saksharatha lessons, where she was taught to read and write by teacher Rehna. Saksharatha Prerak Rehna aided her academically. She is now able to enroll in Class 4 as a result of her excellent performance on the reading test. She has added another star to the state's literacy rate, which has always been higher than the national average. But this time, the rest of the country is praising the hometown hero.
