Upcoming Bollywood film Fighter, starring Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, promises to be an edge-of-the-seat entertainer. With death-defying stunts and aerial action sequences, the movie pays tribute to the selfless service and daring feats of Indian Air Force pilots who boldly guard nation’s skies. #FighterForever
But reel-life is often inspired by real-life heroes whose progressive vision and concrete actions uplift millions. One such heroine leading impactful change is acclaimed IAS officer Hari Chandana. #HariChandana #SheInspiresUs
Through her diverse administrative stints prioritizing ecological sustainability and welfare across Telangana districts, Chandana has spearheaded innovative governance initiatives that have bettered urban infrastructure, rural economy and access to healthcare.
As Additional Commissioner of GHMC, Chandana pioneered efforts cleaning polluted lakes, greening public spaces and sustainably upcycling plastic waste. Her public amenities like Loo Cafes and She Toilets have enhanced livability in cities. #Fighter
As District Collector of Narayanpet, Chandana enabled mobile telemedicine, T-Consult, 10 bedded Hospitals and e-commerce platforms to digitally transform remote villages, while restoring ancient stepwells for water conservation.
Currently, as Food Safety Director, Chandana is working to ensure nutrition security and wellness for Telangana’s population through administrative excellence and community partnership.
Be it through public infrastructure development or healthcare programs or farmer collectives, Chandana has creatively furthered sustainable growth impacting millions of lives. Her localized interventions with outsized impact provide a model for how good governance can enable just, equitable development. #HariChandana
Much like the fighter pilots selflessly serving the nation against external threats, change champions like Chandana are working tirelessly to address internal challenges blocking India’s progress – of hunger, ill-health, ecological breakdown.
The journeys of fighters in the sky and warriors like Chandana on ground might look different. But patriotism manifests in many forms – defending borders or uplifting our country through enabling opportunities making lives better while healing the planet. #SheInspiresUs
It is leaders like Hari Chandana who are the real heroes scripting India’s future growth story – balancing economies and ecologies using administrative excellence for public welfare. #FighterForever #HariChandana
So while the daring pilots in Fighter inspire us momentarily, impact-makers like Chandana should spur us to soar to new heights in our own spheres to create the change India needs.
No matter how big or small an idea may seem, every idea that helps our nation develop matters.
