Empowering Women. Upfifting States Governor Dr. Tamilisai Soundararajan's Vision and Contributions

1. What inspired you to pursue a career in public service?

 I love my profession and politics. When comparing a medical doctor and a politician's contribution to the nation, more doctors are serving without a doubt. However, being a strong advocate of social justice, raised in a political family, and observing Tamil Nadu's political landscape for over half a century, I desired a more active role in public life. Even as a doctor, my interactions with patients and their positive feedback fueled my inclination towards politics.

With my capacity, I entered politics, successfully contested elections, and became a political leader. My intention has always been to serve the country, believing in my leadership capabilities, especially as a woman in a field with fewer female leaders.

2. Could you share the unique challenges and opportunities you've encountered as the first woman governor of Telangana from Tamil Nadu?

Telangana welcomed me warmly, and the connection with my birthday coinciding with Telangana's added a divine touch.

Being affectionately called 'Akka' (sister), I emphasize being Tamil Nadu's daughter and Telangana's sister. The reception has been positive, and the people appreciate my adherence to traditions reflected in my attire. As the first governor of Telangana, I've initiated various activities, including adopting tribal villages and conducting Prajadarbar' at Raj Bhavan. The people identify with me, appreciating my commitment to traditions and the community.
