It aims to nurture young talent in science and make them pursue their career in primary and applied science areas. INSPIRE Fellowship offers 1000 fellowships yearly to bright students aged 22-27 years to pursue Ph.D. in basic and applied sciences, including engineering, medicine, agriculture, and veterinary sciences. Ravinder Kaur will be offered 31,000 per month during her research period of 5 years.
Impact and Future Prospects
The selection of Ravinder Kaur has also opened doors of opportunity for other girls. Ravinder shared her sincere advice to all her fellow students, especially girls struggling with the circumstances.
