Feeling proud on being selected for such a coveted opportunity, Ambika shares: “On completing 145 hours of NSS service within a year, I got this opportunity by excelling in a selection camp organized for seven Northern states. When I had opted LPU as a destination for my higher studies, I never knew that my all aspirations would get materialized so soon. Groomed and motivated well by my teachers at LPU, presently, in addition to being an NSS volunteer, I am an active Kathak dancer and a classical singer also.”
