Beerappa is named after the family god and is a B.Tech graduate. He wanted to join the Indian army like his brother. But for various reasons, he was unable to try the official recruitment exam.

His uncle Yallappa Gaddi stayed in Nanavadi and was glad that his nephew cleared the “highest inspection in the country”.

“We want him to be a good military officer and help poor people like us. His success will inspire other young men and women in our community to take such exams,” Gady said.
