ina Dabi made history by becoming the first Scheduled Caste (and also the first SC Woman) to get the first rank in the prestigious UPSC Civil Services Examination. She is a 2016 batch IAS officer of Rajasthan Cadre. She had preferred Haryana as her intention was to work for the women empowerment. Unfortunately, the prevailing rooster system of cadre allocation didn’t let her go to Haryana.
The miraculous success of Tina Dabi has also created a sort of controversy. People accused her of using reservation to get there. That she was entitled to get reservation was never in doubt. But, the accusation was about her privileged status – both of her parents are highly educated and one of them is GM of BSNL. However, it is also a matter of fact that she had scored really well in the Mains Examination which clearly showed that the lady has stamina and prowess to be there at the top.
Tina Dabi has become a sort of folklore. She is a beacon of hope for Indian girls belonging to SC and ST category.
