Citing less number of working women in Haryana, Civil Services topper Tina Dabi today said she wants to work in Haryana to contribute to women’s empowerment. 

“I always wanted to work in a challenging state. That is why I chose Haryana. We all know sex ratio of girl and boy child is quiet less and that is why I will like to contribute my efforts for the empowerment of women there,” she said.

Tina (22), who has graduated from Lady Shri Ram College here, topped the 2015 Civil Services exam in her first attempt.

“My mother is my role model. She wanted me to study political science. I chose it and got through. It was one of my main subjects,” she said, crediting her mother, a former Indian Engineering Service officer, who took voluntary retirement from the job.

Tina’s father, Jaswant, is a serving Indian Telecom Service officer. “It is the best day of my life,” he said.

Tina was born in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. She did her schooling from Carmel Convent School there.

Elaborating more on her choice of Haryana as preferred state to work in, she said women should be given more chance to work in administration.

“Women’s empowerment is important. I have seen how my mother has brought up me. It is because of her guidance and support that I could get top position in the test,” she said at her home. — PTI
