Early Academic Pursuits
She embarked on her academic journey with a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (B.V.Sc. & A.H.) from Skuast-Jammu in 2012. Following this, she pursued a Master's degree in Veterinary Microbiology (M.V.Sc. & A.H.) from the same institution in 2014. Her passion for understanding microbial pathogens and bacterial infections led her to delve deeper into the realm of Bacteriology. Driven by a relentless pursuit of knowledge, she completed her Ph.D. in Veterinary Microbiology from Guru Angad Dev University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Ludhiana, Punjab, in 2019.
