Congratulating her, DGP Prashant Kumar remarked, “Shakti Dubey’s exceptional success has made not just the police family, but the entire state proud. Her dedication and hard work are an inspiration to many aspiring civil servants.”

The event was a celebration of both personal achievement and the spirit of inspiration that Ms. Dubey’s success has ignited within the larger community.
