LUCKNOW: A sport like mountaineering is usually associated with men as their passion, hobby, or even career, but some like IPS officer Aparna Kumar follow their passion, chase their dreams and break the glass ceiling to carve out a niche for themselves.
Kumar, posted as Deputy Inspector General with Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) in Dehradun, holds many firsts to her name. She is the only IPS officer to have successfully completed the seven-summit challenge, including scaling of Mount Everest, and is the first woman director of ITBP Academy.
