Tenzin Yangki from Tawang has made history by becoming the first woman from Arunachal Pradesh to join the Indian Police Service (IPS). Her achievement has drawn nationwide attention and praise, including a note of admiration from industrialist Anand Mahindra, who shared her story on social media.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Mahindra highlighted Yangki’s inspiring journey, describing her as “an academician, a civil servant, and now an IPS officer,” adding that she has carried forward her parents’ legacy of public service while forging her own path of excellence.
“Being first is never easy. It means you walk alone at first, so that others may one day walk beside you,” Mahindra wrote, urging others not to fear standing alone. “Don’t be afraid of walking alone today… Others will follow.”
