Family support
Taranpreet’s father, Tarlochan Singh, is a farmer who owns 16 acres of land. Her mother is a housewife. “My paternal uncle, who shifted to Canada about six months back, used to motivate me often. Apart from this, my teachers used to guide me wherever I needed them. I did self-study as it is not easy to get a tuition teacher in a village. Also, I never felt the need for the same,” Taranpreet said.
