Tina Dabi made history by becoming
the first Scheduled Caste (and also the first SC Woman) to get the first rank
in the prestigious UPSC Civil Services Examination. She is a 2016 batch IAS
officer of Rajasthan Cadre. She had preferred Haryana as her intention was to
work for the women empowerment. Unfortunately, the prevailing rooster system of
cadre allocation didn’t let her go to Haryana.
Tina has again made history by becoming the topper of her batch at Mussorie. She got the President's Medal of 2016 batch IAS officers.

The miraculous success of Tina Dabi
has also created a sort of controversy. People accused her of using reservation
to get there. That she was entitled to get reservation was never in doubt. But,
the accusation was about her privileged status – both of her parents are highly educated and one of them is GM of BSNL. However, it is also a matter of fact
that she had scored really well in the Mains Examination which clearly showed
that the lady has stamina and prowess to be there at the top.
Tina Dabi has become a sort of
folklore. She is a beacon of hope for Indian girls belonging to SC and ST
category.
