She was the recipient of [[Kaisar-i-Hind Medal|Kaisar-e-Hind Medal]], in recognition of her work in public service.{{Sfn|Singh|2005|p=417}} Thimayya was the third of six children in his family. The eldest was Ponappa (m) (known as Ponnu), then Thimayya (known in the family as Dubbu, and by the British as Timmy), followed by Gangu (f), Dachu (f), Amavva (f) (known as Amie) and finally Somayya (m) (known as Freddie). All the three boys of the family rose to become officers in the Indian Army.{{Sfn|Singh|2005|p=87}} | ||
On his father's side, Thimayya belonged to the Kodendera clan to which India's first commander-in-chief [[Cariappa]] also belonged (his uncle in fact). His mother, Cheppudi Chittauwa (or Cheppusi Chittavva), was from the Cheppudira family. His wife, Nina Thimayya, was a recipient of the [[Kaisar-i-Hind Medal|Kaisar-e-Hind Medal]] for her philanthropic contribution during the [[1935 Quetta earthquake]]. His maternal uncle, C.B. Ponnappa, was in the first batch of [[King's commissioned Indian officer|commissioned Indian officers]] from the [[Daly College|Indore defence school]] and a batchmate of Cariappa. Desiring that he receive a good education, his family sent Thimayya, at the age of eight years, to St. Joseph's College in [[Coonoor]], a convent run by Irish brothers. Later, Thimayya was sent to [[Bishop Cotton Boys School|Bishop Cotton Boys' School]] in [[Bangalore]], along with his brothers. After completing school, Thimayya was sent to the [[Prince of Wales Royal Indian Military College]], a necessary stepping stone for a commission in the [[Indian Army]]. His elder brother Ponnappa (later joined INA) as well as younger brother Somayya (died in a mine accident in 1947–48 Kashmir operations) also joined the Indian army. Following his graduation from RIMC, "Timmy", as he was affectionately known, was one of only six Indian cadets selected for further training at the [[Royal Military College, Sandhurst]]. | On his father's side, Thimayya belonged to the Kodendera clan to which India's first commander-in-chief [[Cariappa]] also belonged (his uncle in fact).
