Revanna, Minister for Sericulture and Textiles, Government of Karnataka, and Allum Verrabadhrappa, President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee. She received the Indira Gandhi Sadbhavana Award in New Delhi for “Outstanding individual achievement and distinguished services to the nation”. It was a proud moment for her when Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dixit presented Vaishali with the Virangana Savitribai Phule Fellowship Award. Vaishali is living proof of the success of Savitribai’s vision.

There have also been State-level awards such as the Kamgar Rattan Award given by the Human Resources Development Services Academy, Mumbai, a State-level institution dedicated to the training and welfare of employees in different fields. Vaishali’s kitty of awards also includes prizes for poetry recitation, dance and other cultural activities during inter-school and college competitions.

Among her many activities, Vaishali is currently writing and publishing a book titled Linear Integrated Circuits for Electronic Engineering students.

She has obtained certification on various computer-related technologies such as RDBMS (Relational Data Base Management Systems), SQL (Structured Query Language) Server and Active Server Pages. She is also a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA).

Despite her busy schedule, Vaishali has managed to keep her interest in painting and fine art alive over the years.
