Divinity classes by Er. Amarjeet Singh was always the most awaited & cherished session & they transformed her life. Being a medical student everyone expected her to pursue MBBS but the motivation given by Dr. Davinder Singh, to opt for Biotechnology was so valuable that it headed her towards the turning point of her life as it was because of his guidance that she opted for the same and she pursued her bachelor’s in biotechnology from GGDSD College affiliated to Punjab University followed by Masters from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana with major Biotechnology and minor Plant Breeding and Genetics .

She always dreamt of pursuing Ph.D., having all her hopes & faith intact she applied for the Ph.D programme in plant science at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. She was chosen as a Ph.D. student out of 100 candidates with the full scholarship.

A Journey where she left no stone unturned & carved the best out of her potentials with the motivation by her parents who stood & supported her in the dark hours of life.

Anupriya demonstrated an essence of a true leader, consistently pulling herself up the rope of growth with the grip of strong efforts & strength of will power. Coming from a lower-middle class background, she defined her destiny the way she dreamt as with the help & guidance of Akal Academy under the aegis of the Kalgidhar Society. She bequeathed the spirit of learning in her & kept stepping forward in the ladder of success.
