More Than a Uniform: Why I Choose the IPS Path”

 Why I Want to Become an IPS Officer

By Roshni Kumari

Becoming an IPS officer is more than just a career goal—it's a dream shaped by my childhood, my family’s struggles, and my deep desire to serve the nation.

I was born in Margao, Goa, but my roots are in a small village in Jharkhand. Growing up, I saw my parents work hard—not for luxury, but for stability. We didn’t have all the comforts in life, but we had values, strength, and a fire to rise. That fire slowly lit a spark in me—a dream to stand for justice, to serve those who have no voice, and to become someone my people could be proud of.

The Indian Police Service (IPS) is not just about power or uniform. To me, it’s about responsibility, discipline, and action. I’ve read stories of brave IPS officers who’ve changed the system, stood against crime, and made a difference in lives. I want to be one of them.

My academic journey isn’t from a top metro city. I’m a B.Com student at M.E.S College, Goa, managing studies while preparing for the UPSC Civil Services Examination. I know the road is long, the syllabus is vast, and the competition is intense—but the dream is bigger.

I also love to write articles and blogs, because it helps me connect with people and build my communication skills. Whether it's public policy, travel stories, or motivation, I believe words have the power to bring change.

This blog is part of that mission. To share, to grow, and to stay accountable to my vision.

If you’re someone with a dream, I hope my journey inspires you to keep going—no matter where you come from or how tough the path gets.

"You don’t have to be born great—you can grow into greatness with courage and consistency."

Thank you for reading my story. Stay connected, and let’s walk this journey together.

🌧️ Social Care in Action: A Rainy Day That Taught Me Real Leadership

  🌧️ A Rainy Morning, A Heartfelt Lesson — 4th July 2025 Today, something unexpected happened — something that moved me deeply and taught me a real-life lesson in empathy. While getting down from the bus to attend college at MES College of Arts & Commerce , it suddenly started raining heavily. I rushed near a bank to take shelter — just hoping not to get drenched. That’s when I saw him. An elderly man, standing alone in the rain, crying. He came up to me and asked, “Are you from Karnataka?” I said no, and gently asked what had happened. With tears in his eyes and in broken words, he told me that his son and daughter-in-law had abandoned him . He was left alone, without food, money, or any idea how to get back home. He needed just ₹260 to return to his village in Karnataka. 💭 I Could Feel His Pain — In His Silence I don’t have much myself — I’m a college student. But I gave him what I could: some snacks and a little money. I didn’t want him to feel invisible. I ask...

Disneyland vs Development: Why I Spoke Up — And TOI Published It

  🎉 My Comment Published on The Times of India — A Milestone in Public Engagement - By Roshni Writer  In today’s fast-paced digital world, where opinions are shared instantly across social media platforms, it’s easy for voices to get lost in the noise. But every once in a while, an opportunity arises to make your thoughts heard on a larger scale. One such moment for me came when my comment on a Times of India article was published — and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🗞️ The Article: "Want to bring Disneyland to Gurgaon" The article in question discussed the ambitious plans of the Haryana government to build a 500-acre Disneyland-style theme park in Manesar, Gurugram . While such projects promise to bring economic growth, tourism, and jobs, I found myself questioning the larger picture. Should entertainment projects be prioritized when many people in India still struggle for the basics like housing, education, and healthcare? 💭 My Thoughts: Disneyland vs. Development H...
