Savita Pradhan, who grew up in extreme poverty and suffered years of domestic abuse, has become an IAS officer after clearing UPSC in her first attempt. Married at just 16, she faced violence, humiliation and neglect from her husband and in-laws while raising two children.

Savita said she was often beaten in front of her children and treated inhumanely at home. At one point, she even considered ending her life, but later left her abusive marriage and decided to rebuild her future. To support herself and her children, she worked in a salon and gave tuition classes while continuing her studies.

Her hard work finally paid off when she cleared the civil services examination in her very first attempt and became an IAS officer. Today, her story is inspiring thousands of women across the country who are facing violence, poverty and hopelessness.

As part of the Nayi Chetna 2024 Gender Campaign, the Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society introduced an innovative snakes-and-ladders game to raise awareness about gender discrimination and violence. The game highlighted six key themes: the life cycle of gender discrimination, gender-based violence, women’s participation in Gram Sabhas, women and Panchayats, women and livelihoods, and girls’ education. This interactive activity provided an engaging platform to educate and empower participants on critical gender issues.
