Isha Singh, an IPS officer of 2021 batch had a law background before entering into Indian Police Service. She completed her graduation from National Law School of Bangalore.

She thinks that constitution and the courts are an amazing way of providing justice. From a very young age she had a natural inclination towards justice.

WHY CIVIL SERVICES?

Her father Mr. Y P Singh an IPS officer, who also served as Police Commissioner of Mumbai, was her inspiration. Speaking with Indian Masterminds, she said, “When I was 9, my father quit from the service. I have seen the way he worked. As I grew older, I read about the cases he did while he was in the CBI and his other postings as an IPS officer.”  

She believes that the Indian Civil services needs upright people, who are there just to solve the problems of the nation, and serve the people. “That’s why I decided to join the service even though I really liked litigation.”

FATHER’S SUPPORT

Isha’s father wanted her to be a lawyer. She shares that every day he would ask her if she was sure about it. She did her civil services preparation from Bombay, so all the printouts and past year question papers that was needed for the preparation was painstakingly done by her father.

Further, she shared that her father would make breakfast and tea for her every single morning without failing. “Breakfast and tea got me through the preparation,” Isha added.  

PROUD PARENTS

Isha says that her parents are her pillar of strength and they were overwhelmed when they came to know that she cracked civil services with All India Rank 191.

Isha’s Naana was a police officer and her father Ex-IPS officer YP Singh was also in service. “I am now quite excited to be the third person in the family to be a cop,” she added.

While preparing for the service, she was also practicing in the Bombay high court. During her practicing, she worked on cases of internet freedom, sexual harassment, represented the widows of disease manual scavengers in the Bombay high court.

“It doesn’t matter, whether you win or lose in this endeavor but it’s important to keep trying and to serve the nation,” she concluded.
