I am deeply honoured and humbled to have been presented with the Minority Excellence Award by the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif.

The ceremony, held at the Jinnah Convention Center in Islamabad, was especially meaningful as it coincided with both National Minority Day and International Youth Day. This prestigious award recognizes minority individuals who have achieved excellence and made significant contributions in their fields on both national and international stages.

I would like to extend a special thank you to my brother, Kheeal Das, for his unwavering encouragement to apply for this award and for his immense love and hospitality.

While my parents are no longer with me, their love, values, and blessings remain my guiding light. This achievement is a testament to their sacrifices and upbringing. Love you, Amma and Baba.
