I was a student of Kalyani mam in 2004. More than claiming she was my teacher I would love to address her as a role model and mentor because it is through her I learnt to inspire myself and believe in myself. She did not just teach literature or literary theory, she just ignited the spark of knowledge which would brighten not only myself but also the people around me. I got a sense of understanding myself and how to teach and approach the subject as well as the students through her. She is not one who merely teaches you some ages or forms of literature, she lets you embark on a journey towards knowledge which will shape your life itself.
She is the best one can get as a teacher, mentor, role model!

I want to express my gratitude towards Kalyani Ma’am and. She has proved to be an angel in disguise for me. Her NET course helped me a lot.
All the lectures were in a fully elaborate manner that made a tremendous change in my preparation. Moreover for paper 1, Team Vallath provided all the required help that was needed.
I had also purchased Ma’am's Encyclopedias. I followed her on every platform such as YouTube, Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram too. And tried to follow her sayings as much as possible.
She is my Guru and I will be obliged to her for the whole career ahead.
