Captain Pranjal was the only son of the former Managing Director of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL), M.V. Venkatesh, and Anuradha. He cherished a dream of serving his motherland, Bharat, by joining the Indian Army. Unfortunately, he passed away at the age of 28 due to a terrorist attack.[1]
In recognition of Captain M V Pranjal's exceptional and selfless bravery in the face of adversity, embodying the highest ideals of the Indian Army, he is posthumously honored with the "SHAURYA CHAKRA."[2]
Pranjal's foundational education took place at Delhi Public School in Mangalore, while his pre-university studies were completed at Mahesh PU College in the same city. Subsequently, he pursued an engineering degree at the National Defence Academy (NDA) and later received a commission in the Rashtriya Rifles.[3]
