Meet IAS Officer Smita Sabharwal, daughter of Army Colonel and youngest to be posted at CM’s office

Passing a UPSC exam with flying colours is not an easy task. Candidates struggle for years together to clear the Civil Services examination and even then they do not get the expected ranking or post.

However, IAS officer Smita Sabharwal is just 22 years old and is the youngest ever to be posted at the office of a Chief Minister.

That is why her success story needs to be told to those who are aspiring to follow the same path.

Smita Sabharwal cracked IAS in the first attempt

According to DNA India, Smita cracked the exam in her first attempt and that too with good rank. At 22, she is the youngest female IAS officer in the country apart from of course being the youngest IAS officer to work in the office of the CM.

She got AIR 4 during the UPSC exam in 2000. Serving the nation runs in her family as her father is also a retired Army colonel.
