Farmer’s daughter Mona Dangi cracked MPPSC with Rank 12
Mona Dangi’s story is resonating with netizens across the country as a powerful message of grit, humility, and quiet determination.
Her background
Belonging to a small farming family of Ashoknagar district, Mona Dangi secured the 12th rank in the MPPSC 2023 examination and ultimately was qualified for the post of Deputy Collector.
This incident has left many inspired.
A video of the moment Mona shared the news with her mother went viral on social media, evoking emotive responses from netizens across the country.
Her reaction on becoming Deputy Collector
In that video, Mona, visibly holding her tears, tells her mother, “Ab aap Deputy Collector ki maa ban gyi ho,” before anxiously asking her to cross-check the result. Her mother’s reassuring response, asserting that there is “no other Mona Dangi,” has turned the video into a symbol of hope for countless families.
Daughter of a farmer
Mona Dangi was born in Ikodia, a small village in the Mungaoli block, in a home where resources were limited. Her father, a small farmer, consistently put the education of his children upfront, ensuring that financial constraints never overshadowed their aspirations.
What makes her achievement even more remarkable is that Mona was preparing for the exam while doing a full-time job.
Currently a GST Inspector
Currently serving as a GST Inspector in Indore, she balanced demanding work hours with long study sessions. Her journey began during the lockdown, when she decided to prepare for administrative services.
By 2022, she had already cleared the Commercial Tax Inspector examination, but the MPPSC became her bigger goal.
Colleagues describe her as disciplined and consistent, qualities reflected in her own words from the now-viral video: “Bas ek baar result dekh lo… kahin galti na ho.”
