32-yr-old armless woman gets driving licence in Kerala

Her relentless efforts of six long years for a driving licence finally paid off when Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan himself handed over the document to 32-year-old disabled Jilumol M.Thomas.

Jilumol, who was born without hands, had always dreamt of driving a car using her legs but her requests were



challenged on technical grounds.

“Mobility was my biggest handicap and now I am excited as I have got the licence thus getting over my biggest impediment,” said Thomas, who is a freelance designer. The first hurdle was cleared when a driving school at Vaduthala in Ernakulam district agreed to register her as a student.
