My journey as a student and as an undergraduate has kindled my passion towards social service and bringing a change in the society. This evolvement has been drastic and path changing to my life during this pandemic period. My passion has given a scope in the right direction and materialized in the form of my own NGO “ Bodhan” bridging way to adulthood. The word Bodhan is evolved from Sanskrit meaning “ To Educate”.
In the Year 2017, I had an opportunity to be a part of the Global Young Leaders Conference at New York and Washington DC, USA where I was a Vice Chair in this program and also a delegate at United Nations Headquarters. This was a turning point in my life and guided me in my choose path.

In my second year I established a open community club namely “Rudra” first of its kind to bring about a holistic idea of voluntary donation and by recycling of used items which are eventually donated to the orphanages and the needy. My Motto as a Former Chairperson in Rudra is to donate Humanity and visualize joy of giving .
