Yendava Reshma will soon fly to the US to pursue her dream course, a GMR press release said, adding that she had cleared all stages of the selection process and opted to study Agricultural Geo Special Technology at Kirkwood Community College, Cedar Rapids, USA.
Reshma is currently studying B.SC. (CBZ) at SGCSR College in Rajam of Vizianagaram district in Andhra Pradesh, which is run by the GMRVF. Reshma hails from Menthipeta SC Colony of Rajam.
