  Ek PAHAL was created with a mission to uplift the lives of students, by enabling them to maximize their potential by providing a platform and resources to learn, teach, be creative, and see the world in new ways. Now in its third year, Ek Pahal continues to influence more than 150 students by driving creativity in efficient techniques of learning.•Conceptualised and built strategy; mobilized funds and resources •Led a team of 10 people for more than 2 years & mentored 20 people of different ages and groups•Conducted many sessions to impact perspectives (Science in Daily Life, Sparking Curiosity etc.), talks & tours•Set up a Library with an activity centre for the community•Our idea “Anwesha - Education beyond Schooling” has been selected in “Changelooms with.in” •Designed innovative curriculum focused on experiential, active and reflective learning

  The project was on Laser-driven ion acceleration. I studied theoretically the relation between ion energy & ion energy spread with the help of simulations.• Modified Particle-In-Cell code & Created simulations to study the effect on the spread of ion energy spectrum of the laser pulse• Integrated the simulation with data analysis and visualization programs to use it afterwards The project was on Laser-driven ion acceleration.
