Alumni Achievement | Pride of New Horizon Major Swathi Shantha Kumar
We are delighted to share that our distinguished alumna, Major Swathi Shantha Kumar (Batch 2012–2016) from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, is currently serving as an Officer in the Indian Army. She has been conferred the UN Secretary-General’s Award 2025 for her impactful project, “Equal Partners, Lasting Peace.”
Major Swathi is presently deployed with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). Her exemplary efforts have significantly enhanced gender parity through the effective deployment and integration of the Indian Engagement Team, thereby strengthening grassroots-level engagement across her area of responsibility.
This prestigious international recognition honours initiatives that advance gender equality and promote gender-responsive peacekeeping, in alignment with the core mandate of the United Nations.
New Horizon College of Engineering proudly congratulates Major Swathi Shantha Kumar on this remarkable achievement, which brings immense honour to the institution and serves as an inspiration to students and alumni alike.
