Radhika Dhingra – I’m pursuing my masters in environmental science from Germany. I’m keen on working in a developing country and creating an impact there. And thus, as soon as I got the opportunity, I decided to be back in India and work on my thesis here.
I’m very much interested in Politics and so I’m just trying to figure out my ways to be a part of the political system and represent people and their problems. 🙂
All the best dear
