5 Daughters In The Administrative Service. Their Farmer-Dad Is Beaming with Pride

Two of this farmer's daughters were already in the Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) and now another three have cracked the civil services exam. That's a house of 5 lady civil servants.

The farmer, Sahdev Saharan, from Hanumangarh in Rajasthan could only manage to study upto class 8th. His wife didn't manage an education.

This year, three of his daughters, Anshu, Reetu and Suman, got admitted into the administrative service of the state. Two of Saharan's daughters are already working in the state service. Anshu got 31st rank Reetu got 96th while Suman got 98th rank.

Roma, their elder sister, passed the RAS exam in 2010 and became the first RAS officer in her family.

Roma is currently Block Development Officer (BDO) at Sujangarh in the Jhunjhunu district. Their second sister, Manju serves the Cooperative Department at Nohar, Hanumangarh. She had cracked the RAS exam in 2017.

The farmer and his daughters were congratulated by IFS officer Praveen Kaswan as he wrote, "Such a good news. Anshu, Reetu and Suman are three sisters from Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Today all three got selected in RAS together. Making father & family proud. They are five sisters. Other two Roma and Manju were already RAS. All five daughters of farmer Shri Sahdev Saharan are now RAS officers. (sic)"
