Apart from financial aid, the programme also provided strong academic guidance through experienced faculty members. Rajeshwari credited the academic support system and structured preparation environment for strengthening her chances of success.
She hailed from Madurai district, where her father Murugadas worked as a businessman and her mother served as an associate professor of mathematics. Her family described her as disciplined and focused, qualities that played a key role in her achievement.
Rajeshwari had earlier cleared the Group-1 examination in 2024 and had undergone training as a deputy district collector in Dindigul. At the time of the UPSC results, she had been undergoing training at the Secretariat in Chennai in preparation for administrative responsibilities.
Her family expressed gratitude to the Tamil Nadu government and officials associated with the Naan Mudhalvan scheme for supporting aspirants through training programmes and financial assistance.
