Simran's commitment to community upliftment extends beyond her role at Eqra. She actively volunteers with another NGO dedicated to educating underprivileged children in her native Jammu. Her dedication to sharing knowledge and inspiring others spans across age groups, as she finds joy in both teaching children and guiding adults. Drawing from her extensive experience, Simran possesses strong leadership skills and excels in training, motivating, and developing individuals.

Leveraging this knowledge, she has spearheaded the development and implementation of training modules focused on "Healing and Transformation" through Conscious Leadership. Despite juggling multiple responsibilities, including part-time NGO work alongside academic pursuits, Simran consistently meets deadlines and delivers exceptional results. Her dedication to global peace initiatives is evident through her membership in esteemed organizations such as the Global Peace Hub by the Swedish Development Forum and the Indian Coalition on Youth, Peace, and Security.
