Charan has also completed her MBA from IIPM (Delhi), in addition to her BSc degree in Botany, Zoology and Bio-Tech.
In an exclusive interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Charan said," I feel that Agricultural needs a big boost in our country, considering the fact that more than 50% of the population depends on this sector. Sadly, its contribution to the economy stands at mere 3%. Hence, I seriously wish to work in this direction".
