Panchireddy Nagamani hails from Kotaripuram village of Rajam Mandal in Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh State. Her father is an agricultural worker and her mother is a homemaker. She is a first generation learner in her family.

With many hardships, Nagamani completed her 10+2 course and joined Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) course at Sri GCSR College, Rajam. Though Nagamani joined Graduation course, she was not aware of career opportunities after completion of her studies and didn't know how to proceed further in her life. But, she was very determined to get a decent Government job and support her family. During this time of her life, her friend told her about 'Pratibha' Library-cum-Career Counselling Center run by GMR Varalakshmi Foundation at Rajam. Subsequently, she approached the Library, interacted with the counsellor and took the membership in 2018. The library offers career guidance, counselling and coaching support to Government job aspirants.

Nagamani used to spend about 4-5 hours a day at 'Pratibha' and appeared for all the model tests conducted at the center. The guidance by the Counsellor, coaching by expert faculty and study material available at the center helped her march towards her goal. Simultaneously, she completed her Graduation. With all the support and guidance from 'Pratibha', Nagamani recently qualified for the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) examination and got selected to serve in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) force, a border guarding force of India deployed along its borders with Tibet Autonomous Region. Currently, she is undergoing training at Panchkula in Haryana State.

Nagamani sincerely attributes her success to 'Pratibha' and agrees it is a boon for the unemployed qualified rural youth in and around Rajam.
