Dr. Anjum Nazir Qureshi’s journey from the quiet town of Ghugus to international platforms stands as a testament to courage, resilience, and relentless ambition. Raised in a humble household, she acknowledges her parents as the first pillars of her success—encouraging her dreams at a time when opportunities for girls to pursue higher education were limited. With their support, she laid the foundation of a promising academic future and later chose engineering as her path—a decision that would shape her identity and purpose.
Her educational aspirations grew stronger after marriage, supported wholeheartedly by her husband and two daughters. Their belief in her potential became a driving force, helping her accomplish her M.Tech and later achieve a PhD. Not stopping there, she expanded her knowledge further by completing an M.A. in Rural Development, reinforcing her passion for community transformation. Her journey is more than a timeline of degrees; it is a story of empowerment, perseverance, and the unwavering spirit to rise beyond expectations.
