Asija is the first member of her family to enlist in the military. She was a source of pride for her family as well as the whole Fazilka area.

Amish Asija's Journey ~

Armish Asija secured the fifth rank in MBBS in her class of 150 at the Armed Forces Medical College, Pune. Asija was one of the only 30 women in her class. Speaking to Indian Express, she expressed, “I think now is the time when our society is under a very positive transitional phase for women. We have to give our 100 percent to consolidate and secure our space as women."

Asija is the first flying officer from the Fazilka district and one of India's youngest women to achieve this. The 23-year-old led her company contingent during the passing-out ceremony on April 25. Talking about her achievement, she said, "It doesn’t matter if you are in Delhi or Fazilka, what one has to achieve, can be done from anywhere."

Asija's big family including her grandmothers from the paternal and maternal sides of her family had come down to Pune to celebrate her graduation. "I was lucky that my family was so supportive. In fact, in situations where I felt a little doubtful, they would tell me to go ahead without any worries," she expressed. 

Asija's mother Sonika Asija is the head of the department of chemistry at Hisar's Guru Jambeshwar University of Science and Technology. Her father Mandeep Asija is an environmental engineer. She said, "Since childhood, I saw that there was immense respect for the armed forces at my home and that’s what made me realize that this job was different from everything else.” 

Her story illustrates the potent influence of a woman who maintains her ground in the face of hardship and believes in herself. It draws attention to the idea that, despite conventional gender norms and expectations, society frequently finds it difficult to embrace and accommodate these women. A woman who is completely aware of her value is courageous and determined, remaining strong in the face of adversity. Her unwavering determination sends a powerful message, motivating everyone around her and opening the door for a future in which all women will be empowered and included.
