āRegarding my semester abroad at the University of Pennsylvania, I can say with certainty that this experience has been nothing short of amazing. It has broadened my perspective and helped me grow both personally and academically. One of the most exciting aspects of my semester at Penn was meeting people from all around the world who came from different cultural backgrounds. I was amazed by their diverse perspectives and felt that I learned as much from my peers as I did from my classes.
Speaking of academics, I took courses in Design, Wharton Business, and Computer Science. These courses are taught by world-class faculty members who are at the top of their respective fields. Iām grateful to be working in a research project with Prof Ives in the CS department, doing a machine learning project which is very rigorous and challenging, but helping me push my abilities to its limits.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also been involved in the performing arts. I am part of a theater production here, under Upennās Theatre Arts Council, and I have had the opportunity to perform alongside theater and cinema majors.ā

āI have wished to experience studies in a different country since childhood. I wanted to know if it was anything like in the movies. Thanks to Ashoka University, I was finally able to see it firsthand and be part of it as well.
The experience @unigeneve has been so different but in a good way! The course material is exciting and I finally feel like I have clarity on my degree and education plan moving forward. The added adventure of navigating independence and life far from home is daunting but definitely second to none.ā
Prof. Mahesh Rangarajan visited Linnaeus University (LU), Sweden in May 2023 as part of a collaboration between LU and Ashoka to teach a course called āModern Nature's. Now in its third year this course aims to provide a cross continental and inter-disciplinary view of how colonialism and the modern world have reshaped nature. It is a Masters course that was co-taught by four scholars, 3 from LU that included Prof. Gunnel Cederlof , Prof. Dag Avango, Prof. Rebecca Duncan and Prof. Mahesh Rangarajan who traveled from Ashoka University, India.
Prof. Rangarajan also caught up with 2 Ashoka Ph.D students, Aritri Chakrabarti (History) and Abhilasha Sawlani (English), who are spending the Spring semester at the Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Post-colonial Studies at LU also a part of the collaboration between Ashoka and LU.

āMy first two weeks at Linnaeus University in VƤxjƶ have been incredibly exciting. The faculty and students here have been very helpful and welcoming, which has made the process of settling down quite comfortable.

As the cold weather gradually gives way to a pleasant spring, I am excited to explore the beautiful campus in this quaint and quiet town!ā

āMy time at Columbia University this spring semester has been nothing short of amazing. Although I was initially hesitant to step out of my comfort zone and be a part of this foreign program, I soon found myself captivated by the vibrant atmosphere of New York City and the Ivy League culture that surrounded me.
Studying at an Ivy League university has given me the chance to engage with brilliant minds in academia and learn from their expertise. Moreover, exploring the city has been an absolute delight ā from savoring world-wide cuisines to visiting renowned museums and cultural events.
As a Computer Science student, I have taken courses that have challenged me to work harder and think bigger. The networking opportunities that were available were exceptional, and the personal growth I've experienced is truly invaluable. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and I am excited to see how these experiences will shape my future endeavors.ā

āMy semester abroad in the US at Connecticut College has been an incredible journey. I've made some wonderful friends from all over the world, and I was able to explore a lot of places over the weekends. I got the chance to learn how to make a video game from scratch in one of my CS classes, visit the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York with a professor, build a go-kart with the robotics club, go on hikes, and I also took classical guitar lessons! The small classes were engaging and interactive, and my peers and professors were extremely helpful. Living in another country has also made me more independent. It's been an extremely enriching experience for me, both academically and personally and I would like to thank GESP and Ashoka University for giving me this opportunity."

Additionally, studying in Geneva has given me the opportunity to learn about different cultures. The city is home to numerous international organizations and is known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere. Moreover, Switzerland is a stunning country with breathtaking landscapes and a high quality of life. It allows me to also visit several other countries like France, Germany and Austria in Europe.

"I had the most amazing time during my month-long internship in Spain at Instituto de InvestigaciĆ³n en Recursos CinegĆ©ticos (IREC), a renowned Institute for Game and Wildlife Research with the guidance of Giovanni Forcina and JosĆ© DĆ”vila. Over the course of my internship, I worked with them to identify domestication signatures and signs of introgression in partridges of the genus Alectoris. I also received training in advanced wetlab techniques such as preparation of Whole Genome Resequencing and ddRAD-seq libraries, DNA Extraction, DNA quality assessment, DNA Quantification and DNA shearing by Bioruptor Sonication. Along with partridges, I also worked on other animals such as Pudu deer, Wood mice, and termites from different genera.
I also got a chance to visit and work at the University of AlcĆ”la and the Complutense University of Madrid, which are some of the oldest universities in Europe. Along with the academic training I received, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity of soaking in Spainās rich and vibrant culture. My short visits to CĆ³rdoba, Seville, and Toledo acquainted me with the countryās vivid history, hospitable people, and delectable cuisine. I want to thank my capstone thesis guides Dr. Balaji Chattopadhyay and Dr. Kritika Garg for making this trip possible and for their support and motivation.ā
