In keeping with the prevailing Hindu custom of those days ,her education was stopped at the primary school stage.But she had been a very intelligent child that her primary school teacher ,Baliah vathiyar ,felt that a genius was being smothered by the blind tradition and pleaded with her parents that her education should be continued at all costs ,offering even to bear the cost of her education himself.It was this selfless offer of an exceedigly good man and teacher that opened the gates of knowledge to Ms.Muthulakshmi reddy.Tradition was however still strong and her education was all gone through at home.She appeared for her Matriculation exam as a private candidate and passed.Her qualifying for college was the most important news of the day in Pudukottai town.
