Heera K Anil, a commerce graduate from Madras Christian College, initially pursued the UPSC examination with the intent of making a meaningful contribution to the development sector. When the UPSC journey did not materialize as she hoped, she embraced an alternative path to contribute to the development sector by joining the Gandhi Fellowship.
Immersed in her fellowship experience in Muzaffarpur district, Bihar, Heera collaborated closely with the district administration, particularly focusing on the digitization of the public health system. This endeavor not only allowed her to analyze the intricacies of the system but also brought to light its inherent gaps. Through this hands-on involvement with the administration and government stakeholders, Heera's latent interest in the inner workings of government machinery, as well as policies and schemes, was kindled. Motivated by this newfound curiosity, she envisions contributing to citizen welfare by being part of policy making in India.
