She maintained that as a student, AE-FUNAI has helped in widening her horizon, and also enhanced her thought process and perspective about life, statiing that her course of study (Biology) has enabled her to place a lot of premium on human life and the environment.

The gesture of the student is quite commendable taking into cognizance the present environment in the country, where most people are more interested in what they can extract from the system and many others engaged in endless armchair criticisms, complaints and fault-finding. By deciding to be a solution provider and problem solver, she has distinguished herself as an eagle and needs to be celebrated.
