Telangana judiciary selects Mancherial woman as junior civil judge
Family background and early struggles
A young woman from Mancherial district has secured a position as a junior civil judge, fulfilling the long-standing aspirations of her parents who had no formal education. The achievement has drawn attention in Srirampur, where the family resides.
The parents, Ekari Venkatesh and Lakshmi, are illiterate and sustained the household by selling fruits on a pushcart. Despite limited means, they ensured that their daughters received higher education.
Educational journey and achievement
Their elder daughter, Likhita, pursued her studies with a structured approach and succeeded in her first attempt in the judicial recruitment process. Her selection as a junior civil judge marks a significant milestone for the family.
She had earlier secured a good rank in the Law Common Entrance Test (LAWCET) and is currently pursuing her second year of LLM. Her academic consistency is cited as a key factor behind her success.
Support from parents and perseverance
Likhita attributed her achievement to the sustained efforts and determination of her parents. She acknowledged that their hard work and sacrifices enabled her to continue her education without interruption.
The family’s financial condition did not deter them from prioritising education. The parents’ earnings from fruit vending were directed towards meeting academic expenses for both daughters.
Sibling continuing higher education
The younger daughter, Rasagna, is also continuing her studies and is enrolled in BTech (Electrical Engineering) at Osmania University. The family has maintained a focus on education for both children despite economic constraints.
Stories of first-generation learners entering professional services continue to emerge from districts across Telangana. Access to higher education and competitive examinations has enabled individuals from economically weaker backgrounds to secure positions in public service.
Likhita’s selection reflects this broader trend, where sustained effort and family support contribute to upward mobility through education.
