Har husband works as a state police constable in Tamilnadu Government. One fine Early morning he leaves his home to attend a Parade function and the guest was followed by the IG and DIG.

Ambika was interested to know about the honouring and regard given for the DIG and IG. once her husband arrived home, she asked him about them (IG and DIG) once her husband said that they are most senior officers of the department, Ambika felt how lucky if she too becomes a law officer and rises to that level. Because she does not have complete knowledge about the department and there designation or position.  

But as ambika was married at a too early age she couldn't even finish up her SSLC.(High School) once she spoke to her husband, he said he would support her dream and recommended her to require seem for the SSLC examination as an external candidate. She did that and cleared her SSLC. Later she completed her PUC and Degree Exams as an external candidate.

She requested her husband to allow her to move to chennai in order that she will be able to go for the IPS coaching. He agreed and created arrangements for PG facility for her. Ambika's husband was very cooperative and he supported her in each possible manner. He makes a PG facility for her and helped her to get into IPS coaching classes.

Even after 3 attempts, Ambika did not clear IPS. Her husband told a disheartened Ambika to return back. He told her that government has given him accommodation facility and by the time he retires, even he would have 2 stars on his shoulder.

Ambika requested him to give her an extra year. She said, “If I don't succeed this year, i'll return back”. She felt that at least she may work as an educator in some school and support her husband.

Luckily for her, Ambika cleared her IPS prelims, mains and Interview in her fourth attempt.

After clearing IPS in 2008, she gets into training provided by the Department. Her batch mate, Ravi D Chennanavar DCP bangalore, said that she used to be terribly attentive in the training and was familiar to be a brave woman.

Ambika currently works as DCP North four division in mumbai.

If Ambika were to merely blame her parents for kid wedding and curse her fate, she wouldn't became a DCP today. rather than blaming the system or people, she created a brave attempt to change her future through hard work and of her husband's support.

Today Ambika has become a role model for several and there could be many more Ambikas hidden among us.
