Today, almost everyone in India knows the names of IAS officer Tina Dabi and her sister IAS Ria Dabi. Tina made headlines in 2016 when she secured AIR 1 in the UPSC Civil Services Exam, and since then, she has inspired lakhs of young aspirants across the country. But behind Tina's success is the silent strength and support of someone very special i.e. her mother, Himali Dabi, a woman who put her daughter's dreams above everything else. Here's the story of this incredible mother. A topper turned IES officer herself
Himali Dabi is not new to success as she herself cracked the UPSC Engineering Services Exam and became an officer in the Indian Engineering Services (IES). She studied engineering at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (NIT), Bhopal, where she was a topper in her college. Throughout her academic and professional life, she was known for her excellence and dedication. Left her government job for her daughter's dream
But when her elder daughter, Tina decided to prepare for the UPSC exam, Himali made a bold choice, she resigned from her well-settled government job just to provide full-time support to both her daughters. Her sacrifice and belief in her daughter's potential became a turning point, helping Tina rise to the top.
Himali Dabi was not just a supportive parent, but was a mentor, a guide, and an emotional anchor for her daughter Tina. She understood exactly what Tina needed during her UPSC journey. Both daughters became IAS officers
Today, Tina Dabi serves as the District Collector and Magistrate of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Her success is not just the result of her own hard work, but also the outcome of her mother's silent sacrifices and strong support.
After Tina, her younger sister Ria Dabi also cracked the UPSC exam with flying colours. Ria secured AIR 15 in 2020 and began her civil services career in 2021.
IAS Tina Dabi's husband IAS Pradeep Gawande and brother-in-law IPS Manish Kumar have all cleared UPSC exam.
