Social Entrepreneur | Climate Innovator | Youth Leader | Gender Equality Advocate | National-Level Fencer

Hi! I’m Aarna Rajvanshi, a Class XII student at Sanskriti School, New Delhi, driven by a passion for sustainability, gender equality, and youth empowerment. As a social entrepreneur, researcher, and national-level fencer, I’ve learned to balance discipline with purpose — channeling my experiences into creating meaningful change. Through my initiatives — Arambh, AmritFeed, and HydroNests — I work to empower underprivileged children through sports, promote sustainable agriculture, and reimagine urban living through green innovation. My goal is to build a future where opportunity and sustainability go hand in hand, ensuring that every young person has the chance to thrive.
