Additionally, I hold a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Govt Polytechnic Sringar Garhwal in 2018.
My professional journey began in 2018 as a Diploma trainee at TATA Motors Pantnagar, where I spent a year in the production department’s BIW shop.

I resolved punch issues of operators and forwarded zero-defect data to superiors.
After completing my internship, I transitioned to work at a BMW automobile showroom in Gurgaon. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I left my job and decided to continue my studies. I pursued post-graduation in social work and, since December 2022, have been preparing for government exams while working part-time as an LDC in the Minor Lift Irrigation division in Srinagar Garhwal.
My greatest strength lies in my honesty and belief in teamwork, essential for executing tasks efficiently.
