Pradeep Raj P is pursuing 2nd year BE Mechanical Engineering at College of Engineering, Guindy. He completed his schooling at Selvam Matriculation Higher Secondary School and secured 71.5% in Class 12. He later joined Krishna Polytechnic College, where he scored 97% in his diploma course.

Pradeep lost both his parents while he was still in school. His father, who worked in the Railways as a khalasi, passed away in 2022 due to kidney failure, and his mother passed away the same year due to health complications. He currently lives with his maternal grandparents, while his younger brother stays with their paternal grandparents and continues his schooling.

Though eligible for his father’s settlement benefits, Pradeep has faced delays in the process and has already spent around Rs. 25,000 on legal assistance without much progress. Despite these hardships, he remains focused on his studies at Anna University, hoping to secure good placement opportunities and support his younger brother’s future.
