Speaking exclusively to Mid Day Online, Chahatt shared her wish as a teenager to join the police force after being inspired by the great women of India who played a role in making the country proud.  She said, “I had been reading a lot about women in governance and how they impacted communities all across the countries. I became totally impressed with their work and for this, I, wholeheartedly salute their spirit. Looking back, I still remember that, when I was about 19 or 20 years old, I had a strong urge to join the police force. I was highly inspired by the women who looked so tough and strong. And for this, I had been researching and reading a lot about women in service across the world and how their skills have impacted communities and countries. Trust me when I say that, it has been totally enlightening, fascinating and so insightful to understand the importance of women in leadership”.
