Kohsheen Pandita is in grade 10th at G.D Goenka Public School, Jammu. She enjoys listening to music, reading novels, singing and playing games such as badminton. She says "I have a keen interest in being a part of the different competitions being held in my school. Some of my achievements are: 1) I won second prize at the state level in the international English Olympiad. 11) I won a cash prize of Rs 10,000 as the first prize in a letter writing competition held at Kala Kendra, Jammu. I can't see people suffering so I'm ready to help them. Also, I'm particularly pained to witness the plight of girl child and want to do something about it. I want to keep pace with the changing world and want to see this planet a better place to live in".
