My early Life and Education

Alongside academics, I excelled in athletics & team sports, NCC-C Certificate, and adventure activities such as Trekking, Rock Climbing,Mountaineering, Water Skiing, and Parasailing. I also achieved recognition in Rifle Shooting and was honoured with the Best Cadet Gold Medal at state and national levels.
