Major Pratibha congratulates her newly commissioned DSP sister, Pradeepthi.
Anantapur: A proud moment for a family of teachers, as their two daughters reached the pinnacle of their careers in uniform services. Major Pratibha, serving in the Indian Army, recently travelled from Kolkata to attend her elder sister DSP Pradeepthi’s passing-out parade at the AP Police Academy in Anantapur.
Appa Rao, a retired teacher, and his wife Sugunaveni, a serving teacher, hail from Amidalavalasa. Despite initially aspiring for their daughters to pursue careers in software engineering, they supported their ambitions to join the armed forces.
Pratibha, a mechanical engineer, achieved her goal of joining the Indian Army after three attempts at the SSC exam. She has served in critical locations like Jammu and Kashmir, Sikkim, and South Sudan under a UN mission.
“I am incredibly proud of my sister Pradeepthi’s achievement,” said Pratibha, acknowledging the challenges faced by middle-class girls who choose careers in security services.
Appa Rao and Sugunaveni are overjoyed that both their daughters are serving the nation in uniform. Their story is an inspiration to many.
