The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination is one of the toughest to crack in India. It takes perseverance, hard work and sheer determination to prepare for the exam and crack it. Similarly, Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Mudra Gairola, a former Indian Police Service (IPS) officer let go of her medical career to become a civil servant and fulfil the dream of her father.

After completing school, Goirala enrolled herself in a medical college in Mumbai to study Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) where she clinched the gold medal. After completing her graduation, she came to Delhi and enrolled in the Master of Dental Surgery (MDS). (Photo: Instagram/mudra_ias)
However, it was her father, Arun Gairola’s wish to see his daughter become an IAS officer, a dream he could not achieve. He had taken the exam in 1973 but failed to crack it and his desire remained unfulfilled. (Photo: Instagram/mudra_ias)
To honour her father’s lifelong dream, Mudra Gairola quit her Master’s programme midway and began her preparation for the UPSC civil services exam. In 2018, she appeared for the exam and reached the interview round, but did not qualify further. (Photo: Instagram/mudra_ias)
Determined, she took the exam in the following year again, in 2019, but Goirala did not succeed. She tried again in 2020 but could not crack it either. Once again, she attempted to take the exam in 2021 and this time her relentless hard work paid off and she finally cracked the exam with 165th rank and became an IPS officer.

In 2022, Mudra Gairola once again took the UPSC exam and this time secured 53rd rank and cracked the UPSC to become an IAS officer. The dream that Arun Gairola could not fulfill in 1973, was turned into reality by his daughter almost 50 years later. (Photo: Instagram/mudra_ias)
