DEHRADUN: In times of salary cuts and loss of job opportunities due to the Covid pandemic, the Rs 21-lakh annual pay package offered to Uttarakhand girl Priyanka Bhatt certainly bucks the trend.
The 22-year-old, a native of Uttarakhand’s New Tehri, pursued her engineering in electronics and communication from Doon-based UPES after passing out from Purkal Youth Development Society (PYDS), which provides education to children from underprivileged families. PYDS factored in her entrance exam marks and her economic background before sponsoring her education.
