## About

```text
At Poll Mantra, I manage political and field data across an assigned constituency, coordinating booth- and village-level data compilation and verification. I use data extraction tools and spreadsheets to turn ground intelligence into structured datasets and analytical reports.

At Dainik Jagran (Lucknow), I reported on local events and civic issues and assisted with editing and fact-checking. I also wrote and edited educational content for Course Hero and prepared press releases in Hindi and English for Koshala Literature Festival- 2025.
