In a heartwarming turn of events, locals in Tamil Nadu have hailed Tanjore District Collector, IAS officer Priyanka Balasubramanian, as the “world’s best Collector.” The praise comes following an inspiring story shared by Gowtham Kannan, co-founder of the Village Bells Foundation, a Tamil Nadu-based NGO, who recently highlighted her compassionate leadership.

Kannan shared a video on LinkedIn that showed Priyanka interacting with an elderly woman during an official visit. The woman, out of respect, had removed her footwear before meeting the Collector. However, Priyanka, in a thoughtful gesture, asked her to put on her shoes before returning and offered her tender coconut water to ease the heat. The touching exchange, broadcast on a local news channel, left the woman visibly moved by Priyanka’s kindness.

Priyanka’s warmth didn’t end there. In the same visit, she was seen engaging with children, asking them if they enjoyed their food with the same affection one would show to family. Her down-to-earth approach and genuine care for the community have earned her immense respect from the people of Tanjore.

Kannan further elaborated on Priyanka’s impressive academic journey, noting that she is an engineering graduate from the College of Engineering, Guindy, and holds a management degree from the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore.

The post attracted widespread admiration, with comments praising Priyanka’s humane leadership. One user wrote, “She knows how to treat fellow human beings with kindness,” while another remarked, “Priyanka IAS is truly inspiring! Her genuine care for the community makes her a remarkable leader.”

The people of Tanjore, proud of their compassionate Collector, say they have never seen such a kind-hearted leader before, cementing Priyanka Balasubramanian’s legacy in their hearts.
