Muskaan was struck by the shocking reality that so many girls in her community were denied a basic education as she grew up in India. She began by instructing students in computer and communication skills. Muskaan began running seminars to clarify stereotypes about women's bodies and periods after learning about them in rural communities.

Women felt empowered by these seminars, which improved their grasp of their own biology, she also informed them of their rights, and boosted their confidence. Muskaan is also a part of Ladli Foundation Trust in Pathankot and currently leads a group of 50 volunteers, mentoring and assisting them in reaching out to even more women across India.
