Guwahati: Salma Hussain from Sontoli Char in Assam’s Rural Kamrup District has made to the Andi Leadership Institute (ALI) in Washington DC USA.
While she was preparing for her final semester exams at the NERIM Law College Guwahati, she had submitted her application for selection as a participant in ALI 2018 for Young Women Peace Builders.
The competition was stiff with only eight young women to be selected from all over the world.
The application form itself was like an IAS paper, where one had to respond to objective type questions, write narratives, and provide several reasons for which she should be selected.
Ironically, Salma is the only candidate from India to make it.
The ultimate goal of the Institute is to produce the next generation of female peace-builders and activists who will carry on Andi’s legacy through their work in their respective countries. Under this programme, Salma Hussain of Assam will undergo training from August 5 to18, 2018 in Washington, D.C
