I (Meena Mandal) am a government officer and with almost two decades of experience in the field I sincerely identify myself as an independent, hardworking, ambitious and futuristic woman. With my family’s constant support and my belief in self I have not only handled official and maternal responsibilities gracefully but have also embraced my singing and poetic interests. My mother is my true inspiration, and it is from her that I gain strength and power to challenge the world. I would describe myself as a passionate believer in proving the term beauty with brains.
