Amna Baig was raised to understand the concept of women empowerment. Growing up her father always told her that she was made for public service. The priority for her was her education. She started school in Dera Ghazi Khan in southern Punjab as her father was posted there as a civil servant himself. Early on she saw the impact that an honest civil servant can make in the general public’s life. She closely observed her father’s work and grew up with a sense of responsibility towards her community. She graduated from NUST Business School with a degree in economics in 2013, and immediately after, sat for her CSS exam, stating the police services as her preference. For Amna, her PSP career has been very rewarding. She believes that it is one of the most empowering careers for a woman in Pakistan. In a society that lays a great deal of emphasis on appearances, a uniform can be very empowering. “Societal legitimacy” is important to Amna, and PSP has that for her. She entered the service in 2015 and her training period was mostly divided between Lahore and Islamabad. After qualifying, she also served in Gujrat and Rawalpindi. Her work is no doubt very demanding of her, but she believes that even if it’s making a small impact on the progress of the country, then it’s worth it. Watch her video here.
