Pragya, a law researcher and the daughter of a cook employed at the Supreme Court, has won scholarships to pursue masters in law at two top US universities - the University of California and the University of Michigan.
For her achievement, Pragya, 25, was felicitated by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and other judges of the Supreme Court. Pragya is the daughter of a cook at the top court, Ajay Kumar Samal. Gathered in the judges' lounge, just before commencing their daily judicial duties, the Supreme Court justices rose to their feet to give Pragya an ovation.
"We know Pragya has managed something on her own, but we will ensure she manages to get whatever is required... We expect that she should come back to serve the country," Chief Justice Chandrachud said.
