We all know that becoming an IAS or IPS officer is too difficult for some people. One has to struggle day and night to crack UPSC or Civil Services exam, but what if we tell you about someone who doesn't even know what or who an IAS officer is, but still she wants to be. The story of IAS officer Aparajita Sharma will surprise you. 

Aparajita Sharma, a resident of Banaras, did not even know who was an IAS officer. She had no idea about clearing this exam but still her dream was to become an IAS officer since childhood. Actually, the reason behind her dream was her maternal grandfather. Her maternal grandfather always told him that one day my granddaughter would become an officer. Aparajita, as a child, did not know what it was like to be an officer, but when she grew up, Aparajita took it seriously and chose it as a career.

According to Aparajita, this post gives not only prestige but also satisfaction.
