Engaged in advocacy of Tibetan rights on campus during undergrad, collaborating with the Regional Tibetan Youth Congress and led the Students for Free Tibet (Baroda) briefly. This commitment entailed organising workshops, peace rallies, exhibitions and public speaking on their political struggles. Through a fine balance between my course commitments and my advocacy work, I garnered massive support from a broader audience across several states. I developed great respect for their community spirit. Over time, I forged a strong mutual relationship of trust with them. Alongside this, I tutored them in groups to address the learning gaps owing to language barriers and classroom hesitation.
