She stated, "When it comes to the reaction of the parents," "When I contacted my father, he was overjoyed and said that he was expecting a rank 1 or 2. This is something that will stick with me for a long time. My mother and all of my other relatives were really thrilled since I live in a joint family."
"It is a matter of great pride for me and for the entire country that women have got the top three positions in the examination," Agarwal said of women securing the top three positions in the civil services examination 2021, the results of which were announced by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) earlier on Monday.
