R Sreelekha talks about how her calibre was questioned by misogynists during her tenure as an IPS officer, but she went on to crush the stumbling blocks in her way and proved her mettle to the nation. Honored with various medals and awards, she is a living testament to the powerful women of India. R. Sreelekha is an officer in the Indian Police Service and the First Lady Officer of the IPS from Kerala. She is a dedicated officer, author and has also served as managing director for public sector organisations in Kerala. R Sreelekha has many firsts to her name. In 1987, she became the first female IPS officer from the Kerala cadre. Three years later, she became the first woman to become superintendent of police in the state. Sreelekha shattered yet another glass ceiling after she became the first woman to be given Director General of Police (DGP) rank.
