Now settled in Tel Aviv, Nitsha is the first Gujarati girl to be enlisted in the Israel Army, stated the report. Speaking about his daughter, Nitsha’s father Zeevabhai Muliyasha credited the Israeli education system. “The schooling prepares them for a series of tests to gauge their aptitude and skills, thus helping them choose an appropriate course and career,” Zeevabhai was quoted as saying.
