I 3 Professional insight, talk with Ms. Tina Dabi

      Its my pleasure to have a chance of interaction  with Ms. Tina Dabi , UPSC AIR 1 In 2015 after a felicitation ceremony.

 1 . What was your first reaction when you came to know about your result ?

      I was shocked !!!   I checked the result 2/3 times to convince that result is mine cause I had never thought of clearing the exam at the age of just 22 years .  And I became very very happy.

2. Who is your inspiration and role model ?

      My one and only role model is my mother. I give all credit to my mother for being so supportive as UPSC is very tough exam. It was a team work of me and my mother. I am also obliged to Mukul sir, my teacher for his guidance.

3. How did you prepare for your exam ?

      A lot of hard work is required. I used to study for about 8-10 hours a day. Studying too much for long hours was never my approach. I used to study with small-small breaks. There is no substitution for hard work.

4. What is your secret of success ?

      PATIENCE. Patience is the key to success. I even used to feel lonely and depressed due to such a hectic schedule. Other parts of my life became almost non-existent.

5. What are your future plans ?

     Wherever I go, I will work against gender discrimination and women empowerment. To whichever district I am posted, I want to set an example for my subordinates by working with integrity and empathy.

6. What is your message to youth aspiring to enter in Civil Services?
      To clear Civil Services exam, on doesn’t need to possess any special talent. Hard work with sheer dedication, patience, regularity and revision is enough for someone to clear Civil Services exam.
