Hailing from Sindh, the newly qualified CSP officer told a local news outlet that she is the daughter of a retired dispenser and after studying in government schools she first became a doctor and now a civil servant after clearing CSS.

Dr Sana is happy with her success but says she is not surprised because she has become accustomed to success since childhood.

"I have always been one of the top students in school, college and FCPS exams, so I expected to succeed in CSS as well."

She says she prepared the CSS in a room without any help, but she practised for an interview at a “welfare academy corner” set up near her home in Karachi.

Sana is not only the first CSP officer of Chak village in Shikarpur but also the only woman in the entire district to receive the honour.

She states her parents have four daughters and no son. She and her three sisters went to government schools and could not afford to go to private schools because of poor economic conditions.

"All four raised their parents' heads with pride in their high academic performance," she said. "One of my sisters is a software engineer, the other has an MBA and the third is a medical college student."

Dr Sana passed MBBS from Chandka Medical College in Larkana with distinction and then came to Karachi to start her practice.

She was specializing in urology before CSS.

She says she is proud to be the first female assistant commissioner of the Hindu community and has a sense of responsibility. She wants to further strengthen the confidence of the Hindu community by doing her job honestly as an administrative officer.

"If I do a good job, society's confidence in my community will increase."

"The children of the Hindu community are now becoming doctors and engineers by reading and writing. I want to send a message to them that there is a lot of room for them in the civil service and bureaucracy," she enlightened.

Asked about the difficulties due to belonging to a minority community, Sana Ram Chand said that she had never for a moment in his life thought that he belonged to a minority group.

"As a Hindu, I do not have even one per cent complaint about Pakistan. I have always been treated equally, Pakistan is beautiful and I have had the opportunity to go abroad many times to pursue my career but I always want to be in Pakistan.”

Congratulatory messages on the success of Dr Sana Ram Chand also continue on social media.
