In 2011 Dr. Sahni was invited as a Guest Scholar at the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC and she now is a non-resident Fellow with them. She also is a member of Hillary Clinton’s CHARGE commitment to ensure that more girls complete secondary education around the world.
