She rocked the echeleons of power in an exemplary manner. She represents the quiet power of womanhood. She is the person who gave a make over to the capital city and brought about a semblance of discipline and orderliness to the chaos in Bhubaneswar. Energetic and vibrant, School and Mass Education Secretary Aparajita Sarangi, an IAS officer, has defied the mundane and withstood all hindrances. One among the few high-profile bureaucrats in Orissa, her profile is influenced by sincerity towards work and impeccable integrity. As the commissioner of Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC), Aparajita brought in far-reaching improvement in civic conditions in the Capital. She has maintained equidistance between professional excitements and uncalled for interferences _ administrative and political. “She is an officer who never gets carried away by laurels and feels discouraged by hurdles,” said a secretary rank official. Constrained by paucity of time, this 1994 batch IAS is a firm believer in surprise field visits to get a first-hand feel of the ground situation. Way to go and a salute to this woman of substance!
THE CITY’S WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE – APARAJITA SARANGI.
