Dr. Nidhi Kumar said essence of life and religion is love. It can be divided into three terms – Energy, Vibration and Frequency.

In order to induce happy living; Governments should bring changes in education system that after class five, students should be able to choose streams based on what they are good at or like to do. Dr. Kumar was very happy of the decision by Government of India to introduce Broadcasting over 12 Channels and more for education to students of India with one for every class and additional channels for the disabled via Television and Digital Platforms. She said that this would revolutionaries education in India bridging the gaps between Rural, Semi-Urban and the Urban students who are the future of India tomorrow.
Dr. Kumar felt that the Lockdown is a blessing in disguise and this is at the right time for everyone to invest in themselves and do what, make them happy. She said that the success mantra for all of us is in being persistence and that one must do the job best to their capabilities. She gave examples from her life and the cinematographic work she is engaged with Celebrities shows, Delhi Doordarshan (since 2008) and Netflix opportunities she is engaging with during this period.
Celebrity Dr. Nidhi Kumar strongly felt that the introspection she has been able to do in the last few months during lockdown has broadened her thinking and horizon to contribute to the society. She has been blessed to have her family members as senior government officials holding secretary positions in various departments across the country contributing in the growth and development in the country. However she feels to bring about reforms to take forward the interest of women, environment and youth, she need to let her zeal carve the path. Although she has been offered various political positions in the past by leading parties, however she feels that now is the right time in her life to make the move. She feels that life takes so many turns and opportunistic challenges put forward by uncertain times, that she feels the urge to now serve the society as a socially conscious women to nurture and service the cause of Humanity and the Environment. She enlightened us all of the way women have changed the spear of decision making and productivity in organisation, ministries and governments around the world including India with their dedication and zeal.
