Tapasya Parihar who hails from Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh, has proved that nothing is impossible with hard work and dedication. She secured All Indian Rank (AIR) 23 in Civil Services Exam (CSE) 2017 conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

When she started preparations for the second attempt of UPSC CSE, she changed her strategy and her first target was to make as many notes as possible and solve the answer papers. Her hard work paid off and she managed to secure AIR 23 UPSC CSE exam 2017.
Tapasya’s father Vishwas Parihar is a farmer in his hometown and her uncle Vinayak Parihar is a social worker. Her grandmother Devkunwar Parihar has been the president of Narsinghpur District Panchayat. When she expressed her wish to prepare for UPSC CSE, her family supported her without any hesitation.
Tapasya completed her 12th from Kendriya Vidyalaya and went on to study law at The Indian Law Society’s Law College in Pune. This month, she tied the knot with an Indian Foreign Service officer, Garvit Gangwar.
