Agastya believes that climate change and carbon emissions can be reduced not at a cost but at a profit, and hopes that the in-depth study of economics will equip him to further understand and practically implement this and other strategies. At a time when climate change and the depletion of natural resources are threatening human survival, he wants to use the knowledge he will gain at university to make the green transformation of the Indian economy a profitable one.
After his undergraduate degree, Agastya hopes to go on to a PhD in environmental economics and help environmental policy formation in India through the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).

Journalism is Ankita's biggest passion as she believes that it offers her a platform to facilitate the communication of unbiased and unaltered information to the people. For her there is nothing more challenging and exciting than reporting from a place of action, and she feels that journalism is one of those few professions that in itself is a potent agent of social change.
Through her education, Ankita aims to become a responsible journalist and a channel to document the predicaments of the general public. Stories on health, environment and education would be her priority; other than this, if given a chance, she wishes to work on stories concerning the Defence Forces as well.
