” My father supported me completely till I finished my studies. I have failed thrice in the Civil Services Exams. But on all those occasions the support my father extended to me was really great.The mindset of most of the people prevailing even today is to get their daughter married the moment they become mature.A lot of people advised my parents also that IPS is not suitable to girls. But my parents stood with me. And I dedicate my victory to them.Girls should have self confidence as their inspiration. Every one must become a role model.The parents also must take care to groom their daughters to be better citizens who can really do great things.” She was talking about her parents with great concern & affection.
