WHY FOREST SERVICE?

During the process of her journey, she came to know that the All India Service has certain advantages as they have more platforms where they can work more, therefore, she chose forest service as her career over UPPSC. 

Along with this, she always had a keen interest in forests and nature. Once she joined the academy, Ms. Mishra witnessed a different environment that made her realize she was on the right path.
