Hyderabad: Dr Amrit Duhan, the only woman IPS probationer from Rohtak, Haryana, has bagged three trophies at the police academy, including one for second best all-round probationer.
A doctor who aced the civil services test and was selected for the IPS training, the mother of a five-year-old wants to become a role model for women. “There is nothing like gender when it comes to IPS training. All are treated equally and everyone has to undergo all training courses,” she said.
Her husband, Dr Vijay Kumar, lives in Haryana where their son Samar Vijay attends school. “We are not allowed to stay with families on campus, so I got to meet them once in a while,” Dr Duhan said.
Asked if she felt it was difficult after coming from a comfort zone, she replied. “It is adventurous and more women should come forward. One should listen to their inner feelings and understand what they want to become,” she said.
Dr Duhan’s brother Vinod Duhan who is also an IPS official inspired and encouraged her, she said. Dr Duhan also won the 1973 batch IPS Officers Trophy for the best all round lady IPS probationer and the 1958 batch IPS Officers Trophy for the best lady outdoor probationer apart from the Shri Bhubananda Mishra Memorial Trophy for the best second best all round probationer.
