Significant support by her teachers, and facilities provided at the academy

Amandeep Kaur, the Sports Teacher at Akal Academy, introduced her to Fencing. But in the beginning, for her, Fencing was just a hobby. She was not keen on sports. Her teacher, Amandeep Ji, identified her talent and took her to the District Level Competition, and there, she secured 2nd position and was selected for the State Level. She has never looked back since.
