Why Bureaucrats Hesitate to Act | Roopa D Moudgil IPS | TEDxDSCEWomen
Ms D Roopa is an IPS officer of year 2000 batch. She is the first Kannadiga woman IPS officer in Karnataka. Having secured all India rank of 43 in Civil service examination, IPS was her natural choice after her long association with the khaki as NCC cadet.
Known to take on bigwigs in power, she gets candid, in this talk, on the challenges faced by bureaucrats in general, with specific instances from her journey till date. She reasons out the illogical fear confounding the bureaucrats which restricts them from acting fearlessly against the mighty and powerful. "No Country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of it's citizens".
- Michelle Obama.
TEDxDSCEWomen is proud to introduce its first speaker Mrs. Divakar Roopa Moudgil - IPS.
Mrs. Roopa is the first kannadiga woman IPS officer in the history of Karnataka.
Having secured 43rd rank in UPSC CSE, she had an option to opt for IAS, but she refused as she always aspired to be an IPS officer since her NCC cadet days.
She proved that one need not fear about the corrupted system and its loop holes if he or she is right in what they are doing.
Known for her scintillating beauty, wit, sincerity, and courageous news;
She was serving as the DIGP and Commissioner For Traffic and Road Safety.
Mrs. D Roopa IPS is currently serving as the Inspector General of Police & Additional Commandant General, Home Guards & Ex-Officio Additional Director, Civil Defence, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I live in the USA living comfortably I must add and I felt very happy to see a woman police officer standing up to the thugs in Karnataka. I foresee that in 20 years she will become one of the most famous public servants in India that political parties would want her to join their parties, which she must do, that is joining politics.

Great speech by a great women IPS OFFICER. SALUTE!
First 2 minutes of her speech, I stood up to give a standing ovation 👏👏👏 first time I see a women police speak the truth . Bravo !! Madam ..salutations
Salute Madam. In Swamiji's language you are truly a Devi Shakti. You have mainted and increased the dignity of IPS.
Salute you Rupaji.... You are hope & future of india...God bless you..
Bravo!! If a top bureaucrat like Roopa IPS has permission (with uniform) to speak on specific issues and cases she handled, then why the other honest officers are not using this opportunity to tell the truth and educate the youths especially those who are aspiring to become the next IPS, IAS. It should happen very often on such public platforms. Woman empowered! Beauty and the courage!

I have great respect for Rupaji. It is very tough to crack top exams like IPS/IAS. But, most who manage do it get in to make quick buck and become conduits (and even mentors) for corrupt politicians... They figure & show ways to cheat, rob exchequer, and destroy rule of law. And a few like Rupa try to fight the system within it... So, I have highest regard for those public servants who stay true to the ideals, BUT THEY ARE HARASSED BY THE SYSTEM FOR IT. Such is India.

harko Actually we Indians need to convert Indian Bureacracy to Contractual Bureaucracy where there will be little to no political influence and Contracts can be renewed back only based on performance and public feedback that is based in western and other developed countries. If western countries were to adopt our politician serving colonial era governance system their countries will collapse in no time.

its a pleasure to hear her talking. so honest. proud of her
Wonderful speech . Hope to have more honest and fearless IPS officers like her.
The minister of MP she spoke about,that Minster was Uma Bharti. The influential convicts at Bengaluru prison she spoke, she was Sasikala. Food from outside was being given to her. Siddaramiah had allowed this Thus shows that Siddharamiah (Congress) had allowed favour to a opposition(AIADMK). So this game politics is only for the people. All are same and they support each other when there is any action taken against their convenience The people of this country are more responsible for the condition of the bureaucrat bcoz we out our faith mire in the politicians .

Just a note to congratulate you on this outstanding talk. I felt you addressed the subject with openness, honesty and sensitivity. I believe many of the serving officers would now understand the seriousness of the problem and how to deal with it much better than before.I especially appreciated the examples you gave and the points of law that you applied to each. I wish you success in your efforts to educate all your fellow officers in the force.
