Life is often equated with struggles. He was one of 8 siblings, and hailed originally from a small town. However, he had dreams to study law at a higher level. The life had other plans in store for him. All the money he had saved for his studies, family and for himself was used to treat and recover them after an accident. 

He was however a man with grit and knew how to make the most of what he had. In 1986, he began his army career as a soldier. He never imagined that, with his philosophy of “Propelling and Excelling”, and after achieving milestones as an officer, one day he would be setting landmarks. 

He was commissioned into the Indian Army after 11 years, with a clear mind to never leave his path of learning and earning. Be it UG/PG/B.Ed/Ph.D/Fellowship/RMP/PG Diploma/Diploma, he did it with unbeatable perseverance, but in correspondence and regular mode as he was still serving in the army for nation. 

He was inspired by his own life and always set out to achieve his goal of studying. Despite a life-changing tragedy, he did not give up. He believed that IM (I Am) Possible was better than impossible. 

With a clear set of mind, he achieved Degrees/Diplomas in Medicine, Engineering, Law, Management, Education, Arts those are Homeo, Acupuncture, Banking/Cyber/Labour law, Computer Science, Fire Safety Engineering and management, Personal Management and Human Resource Development, Hospital Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Automobile/Aeronautical/Mechanical Engineering, Import and Export, International Airlines Management and Mass Communication. 

He has also helped many people, and now an entire army salutes him for his service. Lieutenant Colonel N.Muthukrishnan, who has a philanthropic, empathic mind, also helped many young people from financial deprived backgrounds.

However, they were determined to succeed. Not only for his outstanding education but also as the first officer of the village, he is a model of excellence. He is proud of his daughter who has decided to follow in his footsteps and study abroad for genetic engineering. He has received many accolades and recognitions from other media outlets and pinnacles.
