Thiruvananthapuram: On January 5, Vishnunath will enrol as an advocate, marking a significant achievement. Born without his right arm, Vishnu’s journey to success is nothing short of inspiring.

The son of the late Sudharman and Ajitha Kumari from Puthuvalvila House, Mavinmoodu in Ottoor Panchayat, Thiruvananthapuram, Vishnu faced great hardships from an early age. His father passed away when he was just 14, leaving his mother, Ajitha, to support the family, which also included Vishnu's sister, Meghna. The family survived on Ajitha's modest earnings as a labourer under the Employment Guarantee Scheme.

Vishnu began working in local hotels at the age of 15 to fund his studies. He went on to study English Literature at University College, Thiruvananthapuram, working at streetside eateries to support himself. Later, Vishnu continued his journey by enrolling at Law College, Ernakulam, where he again relied on his jobs in various hotels to finance his studies.
