adminMs. Pinky’s journey began in Qadian, Gurdaspur district of Punjab—a small town where big dreams often meet limited resources. But ambition doesn’t need abundance. With clarity and determination, she chose physics, one of the most challenging and disciplined fields in science.
The road was tough, but her focus never wavered.
Consistency, Not Shortcuts
Through years of steady effort and academic discipline, Ms. Pinky built a strong foundation in physics. Her dedication paid off in June 2023, when she graduated as a Gold Medalist in M.Sc. (Physics Honours)—a milestone that reflected not just intelligence, but persistence.
National Recognition – DST INSPIRE PhD Fellowship
Today, Ms. Pinky’s work has earned national-level recognition.
A Physics Research Scholar at Akal University, Talwandi Sabo, she has been awarded the prestigious DST INSPIRE PhD Fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India—one of the most competitive research fellowships in the country.
This fellowship supports only those with exceptional academic potential and research promise.
₹27 Lakhs to Push the Frontiers of Science
The DST INSPIRE Fellowship provides ₹27 lakhs over five years, enabling Ms. Pinky to fully dedicate herself to doctoral research in Theoretical Nuclear Structure Physics. The fellowship covers research funding, academic resources, and expert mentorship—creating an ecosystem where deep scientific inquiry can thrive.
Guided by Strong Mentorship
Ms. Pinky will pursue her PhD research under the supervision of:
- Prof. (Dr.) Sukhjeet Singh
- Dr. Sushil Kumar
Their guidance will play a key role in shaping her research journey in advanced nuclear physics.
Why Her Story Matters
Ms. Pinky’s achievement is a reminder that talent, discipline, and clarity of purpose still matter. Her journey from a small town to national recognition inspires students—especially young women—to explore careers in physics, STEM, and scientific research without hesitation.
This is not overnight success.
This is the power of consistency.
A Moment of Pride
Akal University congratulates Ms. Pinky on this remarkable achievement and wishes her continued success as she explores the frontiers of nuclear physics.
Because when focus meets opportunity,
science moves forward—and so do dreams.
