Young woman Namrata Jain from Naxal hit area cracks Civil Services exam
Raipur: Setting-up example from backward area, a 25-year-old young woman from Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district, one of the worst-hit Naxal regions in the country, has achieved 12th rank in the Civil Services Exam, the result of which was declared recently by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
Namrata Jain, who hails from Geedam town in Dantewada district, ranked 99th in the 2016 Civil Services exam. She got Indian Police Service and is undergoing training at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, Hyderabad.
“I always wanted to be a collector. When I was in Class 8, a woman officer had come to my school. Later I was told she was the collector. I was quiet impressed by her. At that time only, I had decided to become a collector,” Jain told media persons over phone.
She said a Naxal-triggered blast that hit the police station in her town a long time ago encouraged her to join the civil services to serve the poor and bring development to the Maoist-affected area. “The place I come from is badly affected by naxalism. People there lack basic facility like education. I want to serve the people of my state,” said Jain, who is hopeful of getting Indian Administrative Service (IAS) this time.
She said bringing development to Dantewada could be the best way to check naxalism there. While her father is a local businessman, mother is a housewife and her brother aspires to become a chartered accountant.
