In 2025, she was also nominated as a proposed member of the Young South Asia Leaders Initiative. Her research in the field of artistic revivalism also earned her an invitation to the Kala Sahitya Rachna Shivir at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, where she participated in an exclusive interaction with the Hon'ble President of India, Smt.
