About Ms. Pranita Mehta
An epitome of excellence and diligence, Ms. Pranita Mehta was an outstanding student at NLUJ (Batch of 2017). She had been a part of the CLS since its inception and was associated with the Society as an Adviser in 2016. In addition to leading a formidable academic career both at school and university, she was second to none when it came to extracurricular activities.
