Abu Dhabi: A 17-year-old Arab Emirates (UAE) based Indian girl has won scholarship from Huron University in Canada, valued at 77,000 United States Dollar (Rs 58,92,294).
Radha Hari, a grade 12 pupil at the Indian High School in Oud Metha, won a scholarship in Canada, in recognition of her leadership and youth empowerment work in the Emirates.
