Such effort and dedication of Sugitha has earned her title of the 'Queen of Awards' from her close friends and colleagues. Sugitha was her village's foremost reporter. She came from a non-political or non-media environment, which made reading, preparing, and positioning herself in the cutthroat media environment tough and demanding. She explained in a question-and-answer session that the current atmosphere has altered from when she first joined Visual Media. She approached the journalists in the Tanjore district hamlet of Kallampatti. Now, the regulations for offering women chances have been eased, and she considers the current state of women in politics to be a beneficial development.

Sugitha has also taught racial and gender fairness mainstreaming courses to ESI hospital doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals in a number of states, including Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. She holds a unique place in people's souls since she provided live coverage even while wading pelvis deep in water in the districts damaged due to the flood during the Chennai flooding.

Sugitha also brought back the moment when Ramesh Prabha, the then-director of Artist TV, kept telling her that she would be a prestigious news reporter in her 60s perched on any broadcaster, and that she considers those utterances to be the biggest and best acknowledgment she has ever garnered, and that they enthuse her when she is tired.Sugitha's hunger for knowledge and cultivating herself as an expert correspondent is a struggle for her even now.
