Every year lakhs of youth dream of becoming IAS or IPS after passing the UPSC exam. But there are only a few among them who become an example for the coming generations with their courage and dedication. One such name is IPS Sanjukta Parashar, who is today known as “Iron Lady of Assam” throughout the country. Her story is not just that of an officer, but of a woman who turned every difficult path into her strength.
Sanjukta was born and brought up in Assam. Since childhood, she remained top in studies and always became the pride of her parents. He completed his early education in Assam and then graduated in Political Science from Indraprastha College, Delhi. From here the desire to understand the society and do something big grew deeper in his mind. After this he took admission in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Delhi and obtained a post graduation degree in International Relations.
The journey was not easy
From here his life took a new turn. He started preparing for UPSC exam. This path was not easy; hard work day and night, fear of failure and expectations of the society had to be faced simultaneously. But Sanjukta never gave up. Finally in the year 2006, he passed the UPSC exam and achieved All India Rank 85. This was a big achievement, but the biggest thing was that he chose Indian Police Service (IPS) and not IAS.
When everyone wants to move towards a comfortable administrative job, Sanjukta chose the difficult path of law, crime and public safety. He chose Assam-Meghalaya cadre, that is, the same area where there was an atmosphere of terrorism, violence and unrest. But he never looked back.
face challenges
After becoming IPS, his first posting was as Assistant Commandant in Makum, Assam. Here he had to face a very challenging environment. But Sanjukta won everyone’s hearts with her bravery and fearlessness. When violence broke out between the Bodo and Bangladeshi communities in Udalguri district, he was sent there. He handled the situation without any fear and controlled the violence. From that time people in Assam started calling her “Iron Lady”.
