Ritika Milankumar Pardeshi, a 24-year-old resident of Dhayari in Pune, has achieved a major milestone in her career as she has been selected to join the Officers Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai. Standing 11th in the all-India merit list for girls, Ritika will undergo one year of military training at OTA and will be commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Indian Army.
Ritika’s journey towards this achievement started with her schooling at Springdale English Medium School, where she excelled in her SSC board exams with 93%.
