Even when he had to attend school he was denied admission to the local school and had to be taken to a different school in a different town by his maternal grandfather. After he passed the UPSC exam when Ramakrishnan went to join duty as either news reader, translator or reporter but he was not accepted for the post because of his handicap (he has polio in both his legs).

Giri, who immediately passed an order that the fact that people are disabled must not be considered while evaluating them in their Confidential Reports. He runs a charitable trust called Krupa to help specially abled persons to buy hearing aids, walking sticks, tricycles and calipers. ==Journalism== The first person to start piece to the camera (where the reporter holds the mike and shows his face on TV) on Tamil News, H Ramakrishnan has been a great source of inspiration for many.
