I'am pursuing law from O.P. Jindal Global University. I completed my twelfth grade from Progressive Education School, Indore with 94% from ISC Board. I'm interested in human rights law, constitutional law and public international law and intellectual property law. But I�m still figuring out and trying to explore as many avenues as possible that will help me in deciding what I wish to pursue post my graduation. I was fascinated by the power of the law since my school days and developed a keen interest in this field. From newspaper headlines to bestselling novels to real life experiences, it seemed that lawyers were magicians. As much as I was fascinated by lawyers, I wanted to serve the society. So I felt I should perhaps consider law as a career. Little did I know I would fall head over heels in love with the law the moment I started studying Torts and Contracts in preparation for the law entrance examinations. During college, I have interned under several Advocates and Law firms which helped me evaluate my inherent abilities and potential. Although I have accumulated a foundational knowledge in civil, criminal and constitutional law domain, I think the best way to move forward is to get practical working experience. I wish to learn, up skill, and acquire skills that can shape me as a valued professional in the field of law. This initiative aligns with my passion as I have also worked and volunteered for some similar NGOs. I've always felt a strong urge to do something for the society but didn�t know where to start from. I think this lockdown gave me the time to rethink what I always wanted to do and fortunately got the opportunity to volunteer to help the poor people. I didn�t even give it a second thought especially at a time when this pandemic induced lockdown has severely affected the vulnerable communities. I worked with JGU-COVID Support Group for two months to raised funds to distribute food, water, medical kits to the neediest people.
