This is a wedding like no other! Poonam, who led the all-women contingent during the 74th Republic Day Parade, has earned a special place in history by being granted permission to host her wedding at the iconic Mother Teresa Crown Complex at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
This momentous occasion comes after President Droupadi Murmu, deeply impressed by Poonam’s service and dedication, personally approved her request. But that’s not all! Poonam’s journey is one of resilience, determination, and hard work.
A mathematics graduate with a master’s in english literature and a BEd degree, she cleared the 2018 UPSC CAPF exam with flying colours, securing rank 81. Her service in challenging areas, including Bihar’s Naxal-affected zones, only adds to her remarkable story.
On February 12, she will marry CRPF Assistant Commandant Avnish Kumar, who is posted in Jammu and Kashmir, in a ceremony attended by their closest family and friends.
