Because of her father’s routine postings, Pooja had to attend different schools.
Initially, Pooja was reluctant to go to school; as she didn’t like the schools, the students, the books, and the uniforms.
Pooja was inspired by his father to join the Uniform Service.

Since 2010, women have been allowed in the Air Force as full officers, after nearly 50 women officers (including Pooja Thakur), moved to court. More than 250 women were granted permanent commission after the high court ruled in their favour.
