Kiran Bedi, an active social activist, is India's first and highest ranking woman officer who joined the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 1972. She is known for her tough yet innovative and welfare policies. She held the post of Director General at the Bureau of Police Research and Development before she voluntary retired from the IPS in December 2007.
From starting her career as a Lecturer in Political Science at a Women's college in Amritsar to an IPS officer, her achievements are remarkable. During her tenure (1972-2007) as an IPS officer, she has handled a number of tough assignments. In 1977, she brought an end to the Akali-Nirankari Sikh riots at India Gate. 1979, as DCP of West Delhi, she broke up a 200-year-old illicit liquor trade. But the most famous was when she dragged and challaned Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's car for parking violation, for which is referred to as Crane Bedi. In 1985, as DCP (headquarters) she ordered 1600 pending promotions to be made in a single day.
The credit for turning an unliveable Tihar jail into a place of learning solely goes to her. She then said, "I want to transform this jail into an Ashram within six months." During her stint as the Inspector General of Prisons in Tihar Jail, she came up with a number of reforms for the benefits of the prisoners. She introduced basic education programs, yoga and meditation classes, Art of Living Foundation Prison Courses and many functions like mushairas, kavi sammelans, dramas and games for the inmates.
She has been influential when it comes to taking important decisions of the IPS, particularly in the areas of narcotics control, traffic management, and VIP security. She was last appointed as Director General of India's Bureau of Police Research and Development. She has worked with the United Nations as the Police Advisor to the Secretary General, in the Department of Peace Keeping Operations. She has been a representative of India at the United Nations, and in International meetings on crime prevention, drug abuse, police and prison reforms and women's issues.
Kiran Bedi has penned down several books and is a columnist with leading newspapers and magazines. She is an affluent and much sought after speaker on several issues pertaining to social, professional and leadership. She has also founded two NGOs, Navjyoti (1987) and India Vision Foundation (1994) with the purpose of improving the condition of drug addicts and poor people. These organisations also worked in the areas of schooling for children of prisoners, education, training, counselling and health care to the poor and the needy people.
Kiran Bedi has won many national and international awards including the Ramon Magsaysay in 1994. Her organizations were awarded the Serge Soitiroff Memorial Award for drug abuse prevention by the United Nations.
Kiran bedi entered into a Television world and continued helping the people. She was the host and judge of the popular TV series Aap Ki Kachehri on Star Plus. The show is an attempt to simplify and explain the legal procedures and make the viewers aware of the Indian laws. It offers legal advice and monetary aid to those who approached her TV court and helps in solving their problems.
Kiran Bedi is one of India's most desirable women. She has been voted as India's most admired woman and fifth amongst all Indians. For being fearless, courageous and inspiring many a lot, she deserves a grand salute from all of us.
