There is a growing interest in India’s civil services, such as IAS, IPS, and IFS. These jobs were once viewed as merely government jobs, but they are now celebrated symbols of power, prestige, and purpose.
The Civil Services Examination (CSE) has been conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in India since 1926 and is considered one of the toughest exams in India. The exam serves as the gateway to top government positions like IAS, IPS, IFS, and more, attracting thousands of aspirants every year. There are several civil servants who have gained recognition as well as respect for their work and contributions.
One such officer is IAS Smita Sabharwal. Dubbed the “People’s Officer”, this designation came to Smita not just because of her transparent administration, effective governance, and people-friendly schemes, but she strategically leveraged technology and social media to offer changes and innovations to create efficiencies for public service.
Smita cracked the 2000 UPSC CSE examination at 23 and obtained an All India Rank(AIR) of 4 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination. If media reports are to be believed, Smita cracked the UPSC exam in her second attempt.
While her educational qualification is concerned, Smita Sabharwal completed her schooling at St. Ann’s High School in Secunderabad, Telangana. In 1995, she took her Class 12th Examination under the Indian School Certificate (ISC) board through Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi, receiving a Grade A in SUPW & Community Service. Her subjects were English, Hindi, Economics, Structure of Commerce, and Principles of Accounts – a varied and titaniacally engineered mix that helped to lay the foundations from which she would go on to succeed in the civil services.
