Aparajita Rai: Forging History As Sikkims First Female IPS Officer, Illuminating Paths Of Empowerment


In the dynamic landscape of the Indian Police Service (IPS), Aparajita Rai’s name shines brightly as Sikkim’s trailblazing first female IPS officer. Her journey is an embodiment of unyielding determination, resilience, and a fervent commitment to public service. From overcoming early adversities to conquering the rigorous UPSC Civil Services examination, Aparajita Rai’s narrative resonates as a compelling saga of empowerment and breaking traditional barriers.

Kindling the Vision: Early Inspiration and Challenges

Aparajita Rai’s vision to serve her community and nation took root during her formative years, fueled by a burning desire to reform a system she perceived as detached and unsympathetic. The untimely demise of her father, a divisional forest officer in Sikkim when she was just eight, exposed her to the stark realities of bureaucratic apathy. This poignant moment ignited a determination to be a catalyst for positive change from within the system.

A Quest for Excellence: Academic Brilliance and Recognition

Throughout her academic journey, Aparajita consistently showcased academic brilliance and an insatiable thirst for holistic growth. A top-performer during her schooling, she achieved a remarkable 95 percent in her ISC exams, an achievement acknowledged with the esteemed Best Girl All-Rounder Shrimati Ratna Pradhan Memorial Trophy from Tashi Namgyal Academy.

Academic Pursuits and Steadfast Resolve

Following her secondary education, Aparajita embarked on a transformative path, successfully clearing the National Admission Test (NAT). Her academic pursuits led her to the esteemed West Bengal National University of Judicial Sciences in Kolkata, where she earned a BA LLB (Hons) degree in 2009. Her pursuit of excellence extended to the coveted Civil Services examination, which she courageously attempted in 2009, though success eluded her at that juncture.

Triumph Over Adversity: A Resolute Ascent

The year 2010 marked a defining turning point for Aparajita Rai. Undeterred by her earlier setback, she secured the 768th rank in the CSE 2010. Yet, her unwavering spirit drove her to reach even loftier heights. Undaunted, she reappeared for the UPSC examination in 2011, achieving an impressive rank of 358th.

Catalyzing Transformation: A Vision for Positive Change

Aparajita Rai’s ascent as Sikkim’s maiden female IPS officer is a living testament to her unwavering dedication and perseverance. Her journey signifies her resolve to usher in a more responsive and empathetic administration. Aparajita’s vision extends beyond personal achievement; she is committed to enlightening and inspiring the youth about the potential of civil services as a potent catalyst for societal transformation.

Illuminating the Path: An Exemplar for All

Aparajita Rai’s pioneering odyssey serves as a luminous inspiration for aspiring individuals across Sikkim and beyond. Her saga underscores the pivotal role of resilience, determination, and an unswerving allegiance to one’s aspirations. Her transformative influence within the Indian Police Service stands as a compelling reminder that even amidst challenges, empowered individuals possess the capacity to forge a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
