WORK PROFILE
I am an Indian Air Force veteran with 27 years of service in the blue uniform behind me. While rendering my service to the security of the nation, I was a part of two Operations. First was during Kargil War where I was assigned a role in evacuation of casualties from the northern sector. Second was during Op Parakram after the Parliament attack where we operated for more than a year near the north western border of the country. I was given the unique honour by the Indian Air Force to be the first lady officer to become a select Group Captain ( rank equivalent to a Colonel in the Army) in my line of functioning. I have served in the length and breadth of the country, my first posting being in Assam when ULFA militancy was at its peak. Presently in my second innings, I am contributing as Vice President with an organization called Head and Heart which functions on a principle of harnessing the latent brain potential of human beings. This is also a way of contributing towards nation building ( a subject very close to my heart) wherein we nurture the human capital of our nation. Besides this, I also worked as a volunteer for Vivekananda Kendra in the field of adult education, child education and health/hygiene Currently I am working on a pilot project with people having visual impairment. Overall, I believe that each individual should make all out efforts to take his/ her nation forward in whatever endeavour he/ she undertakes. ' Sva Nirmaan se Rashtra Nirman' i.e Nation Building through self empowerment has been and shall always be my mantra of life.
