**Tamil Nadu Governor Inspired by State’s Diversity, Hardworking People**

**Karaikudi, August 18, 2025** – Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi shared his experiences and offered words of encouragement to students at Alagappa Model Higher Secondary School in Karaikudi, Sivaganga district, on Monday.

During an interactive session, Governor Ravi stated that Tamil Nadu itself had become a constant source of learning for him. “Tamil Nadu has made me a student to learn new things every other day,” he said, highlighting the state’s diversity, hardworking population, and the power of the Tamil language as aspects that particularly intrigued him.

When asked about his inspiration, Mr. Ravi credited his mother, who raised them through difficult circumstances. He also drew on his own childhood experiences of working in the fields and studying under challenging conditions to inspire the students.

“Living in a shanty house and working on fields alongside his mother was the fond memory I have of my childhood. Also, the hard work that I took as a challenge to win over the struggles got me to this position,” he said.

Governor Ravi urged students not to be deterred by their economic background. “Never think you are poor as you are all intellectually rich. By capitalising on the intellect grow up with rich dreams to attain them. Always dream big, as smaller goals would hamper the progress of life,” he told the students.

He concluded his address by advising them to remember four key principles: “dream big, work hard, time management and self-confidence.”
