Mudra Gairola’s journey from the hills of Uttarakhand to the Indian Administrative Service is a powerful story of perseverance, family dreams, and unwavering focus. Hailing from Chamoli district, Mudra grew up hearing about her father’s unfulfilled aspiration to clear the UPSC examination, a dream he pursued back in 1973 but could not achieve. That long-held ambition quietly became a guiding force in her own life.
Initially trained as a dentist, Mudra took a bold decision to step away from a secure professional career and dedicate herself entirely to civil services preparation. The path was far from easy. After years of disciplined study, repeated attempts, and mental resilience, she achieved a major milestone in 2021 by clearing the UPSC examination and joining the Indian Police Service. Rather than settling there, she continued her pursuit of her ultimate goal.
In her fifth attempt, in 2022, Mudra Gairola cleared the UPSC once again—this time securing a rank that earned her entry into the prestigious Indian Administrative Service. Her achievement was widely celebrated as a moment of pride not just for her family, but also for Chamoli district and Uttarakhand as a whole.
Mudra’s success highlights the growing presence of women in India’s top administrative roles and stands as an example of how determination and clarity of purpose can overcome setbacks. Her story resonates strongly with aspirants across the country, especially those who dare to restart, persist, and aim higher despite challenges.
As she begins her journey as an IAS officer, expectations are high that Mudra Gairola will serve the nation with integrity, commitment, and empathy, carrying forward both her own aspirations and a dream her family held onto for decades.
