IAS officer Nandini KR delivered her second baby in a government hospital after having delivered her first child in another state-run hospital.
Ms. Nandini KR was an all-India topper of the 2016 UPSC CSE examinations and is currently posted as the Additional Commissioner of Commercial Taxes under the Karnataka Government. She delivered a healthy baby girl in the state-run Vani Vilas Hospital (Bangaluru) on February 17th. She had delivered her first child in Ballari Hospital (state-run) while she was posted as the CEO of a Zilla Panchayat.
Despite having sufficient resources, Ms. Nandini opted to deliver her two children in government hospitals rather than opulent private nursing homes – a testament to her ability to empathise with the struggles (or lack thereof) of an ordinary woman, setting the bar high for every civil servant in the country.
