Field Immersion:
During my BA Economics program at Azim Premji University, I had the opportunity to participate in a field immersion with the Andhra Pradesh Society for Social Audit and Accountability and Transparency (APSSAAT). Social auditing is crucial for ensuring government programs effectively reach their intended beneficiaries, playing a vital role in improving the lives of disadvantaged groups in India.
In the Kadapa district, I contributed to pension, NREGA, and housing verification as part of a social auditing team. This experience provided me with practical insights into Indian governance and offered valuable interactions with people from diverse backgrounds, contributing to my personal and professional growth.
P A C E T R U S T
My passion for music has led me to achieve Grade 8 in Saxophone and Grade 4 in Piano from Trinity College London. I’m also an avid chess player and enjoy playing basketball.
University:
Azim Premji University is committed to social equity, offering needbased scholarships to students from low-income backgrounds. By promoting inclusivity, the university fosters a diverse learning environment and empowers disadvantaged students to achieve their goals. It offers a range of degree courses in social and natural sciences, making it a distinctive presence among Indian universities.

Synching Up Our Circadian Rhythms
If you've ever done any kind of long-distance travel, or just woken up feeling underrested thanks to daylight saving time, you know how important your circadian clock is. But you might not know that you technically have more than one Like many things in your body, your circadian rhythm is more complicated than it might seem on the surface. Rather than being entirely brain-based, it's actually controlled by a collection of several circadian clocks (central and peripheral) that all work together to keep your gears turning like a well-oiled machine.
And much like the gears of a machine, circadian clocks tend to work best when they're in sync. In fact, scientists now think aligning your body's various circadian clocks could help fight the effects of premature aging. The results of two studies on the matter were recently published in the journals Science and Cell Stem Cell.
It is fascinating to see how synchronization between the brain and peripheral circadian clocks plays a critical role in skin and muscle health, while peripheral clocks alone are autonomous in carrying out the most basic tissue functions, Aznar Benitah, PhD, one of the authors of both studies, said in a press release.
The Science study focused on muscles and the effects of circadian clock synchronization on musculature. Through their analysis, the researchers found that if your main clock and muscle clock get out of sync, it can lead to signs of premature aging and wasting of the muscle tissue. The team also found that a dietary practice known as time-restricted feeding (TRF)requiring that you eat only during the phase of your day in which you are active-can help keep those clocks synched up, reducing the risks of that muscle deterioration. It can also, reportedly, help the muscle clock function better on its own, even without the help of the central clock. -

The Cell Stem Cell paper, on the other hand, focused on the interactions between the main circadian clock and the circadian clock associated with your skin. Similar to the muscle-focused study, the skin study found that keeping the clocks in sync was important for fighting signs of premature aging. Interestingly, the team also found that if the clocks were not in sync, the main clock would take over regulation of the skin but would carry out its usual processes on an opposite schedule. In the press release, the team uses the example of DNA replication. Usually, if everything is going to plan, DNA replication mostly happens at night when it is less subject to radiation from the sun that could potentially cause mutations. But if the central clock dominates the skin's behaviors, DNA replication would mostly happen during the day. Our study reveals that minimal interaction between only two tissue clocks is needed to maintain optimal functioning of tissues and to avoid their deterioration and aging. said Pura MuñozCánoves, PhD, one of the authors of both studies. Now, the next step is to identify the signaling factors involved in this interaction. The researchers behind both studies hope that their research will guide other experts toward developing treatment plans and preventive measures for premature aging in the future.

Whether its time, water , food or energy ,resource management is a necessary life skill .The anjarai petti or Indian spice/condiment box is a simple yet profound example of ancestral wisdom , organisation and resource management.What would happen if all the condiments got mixed up??
The Climate Crisis that we are experiencing with unpredictable weather and frequent natural calamities is driven by our recent consumption pattern.With our consumption , waste generation has also increased .40 years back 90% of household waste was biodegradable but with the introduction of ‘use and throw concept’ ,nonbiodegradable content is increasing day by day leading to soil , water and air pollution.
The Climate Crisis calls for Climate Action by every individual and the simplest climate action in each individual’s control is converting mixed waste into a resource by ‘Trashing it Right’ at source .When we throw waste differently as wet waste (biodegradable waste ) ,dry waste (recyclable waste) ,e-waste (electronic waste ) and reject waste (sanitary and biomedical waste)90% of waste can be saved from the dumpyard .Biodegradable waste can be composted , recyclable waste and e-waste can be recycled .This simple action can shrink those trash mountains and save precious resources for future generations. We are all blessed with ample resources but we should be responsible about our consumption because money can buy resources only when they are available .
