A Proud Moment for Chhattisgarh
Twenty-three-year-old Supriya Singh Shrineth from village Tedhadhoura in Mungeli district has brought pride to the state by securing All India Rank 4 in the CDS examination and earning selection as a Lieutenant in the Indian Army. Her achievement stands as a testament to talent, perseverance, and unwavering dedication to serve the nation.
From a Farmer’s Daughter to a Lieutenant
Hailing from a farming family, Supriya is the daughter of Mrs. Santoshi Singh Shrineth and Mr. Vaidehi Sharan Singh, both farmers who ensured she received strong educational and moral foundations. She completed her early education at St. Joseph Higher Secondary School, scoring 71% in Class 10 and 58% in Class 12.
She later pursued a B.Tech degree in Electronics and Telecommunication. During her engineering studies, she joined the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and rose to the rank of Junior Under Officer. NCC training strengthened her discipline, courage, leadership, and patriotic spirit — shaping her aspiration to become an officer in the Indian Army.
Determination, Discipline and Dedication
After completing her engineering degree in 2023, Supriya dedicated herself fully to preparing for the CDS examination. Through rigorous preparation, consistent practice, and strong self-belief, she excelled in the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview under the Short Service Commission and secured the fourth rank nationwide.
Her achievement is not merely a personal milestone but a source of inspiration for young women from rural India, opening new pathways of possibility and ambition.
Apart from academics and military preparation, Supriya has also been active in cultural activities, particularly dance, which she considers a source of energy and confidence.
