The out-of-turn promotion to the young girl will be given to her in view of her daunting feat beating all odds, the sources added.
Powered by sheer grit and determination, the 25-year-old girl successfully scaled the 8,848 metre-high world's tallest summit on May 21.

The joy of being elevated and honoured by being appointed as a police officer in the CISF would come as an redemption for Arunima as she was travelling in the general compartment of Padmawati Express in April last year only to appear in an exam for recruitment in the same force.
Arunima, a resident of Ambedkar Nagar in Uttar Pradesh, was pushed out of the general compartment after she resisted a chain-snatching attempt by some criminals, as she was travelling from Lucknow to Delhi. She was hit by a passing train and was seriously injured.
She was hospitalised with serious leg and pelvic injuries and in a bid to save her life, doctors had to amputate her left leg below the knee.
According to official data, Arunima had approached CISF headquarters requesting employment in the force and taking a sympathetic view of her case, the force asked for directions from the Home Ministry and Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT).
