After graduating from AFMC Pune , I served in the Indian army where my belief in discipline, determination and service was reinforced. I did my MD pathology from Army Hospital Delhi and then started my tryst with pathology. I have enjoyed my journey as a pathologist and teacher thus far, trying to keep abreast with the fast changing landscape. My teaching appointment helps. I now want to give back by inspiring budding pathologists and doing relevant research in my fields of interest. I am truly humbled and honored by this award. I would like to thank my parents ,teachers , supportive husband and my sons
