Mrs. Banu Prakash, IFS

In Her Words

“When I joined R.V.S. College years ago, I was like any other student—curious, nervous, and carrying more questions than answers. What this institution gave me was clarity. It taught me discipline, nurtured my curiosity, and, most importantly, instilled in me the confidence to aim high.

I still remember our classrooms filled with lively discussions, the guidance of professors who believed in us even when we didn't believe in ourselves, and the late-night study sessions that were less about exams and more about building perseverance. Every experience here, whether academic or personal, prepared me to face challenges with resilience.

The Indian Forest Service is a career that demands compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication. Whether it is protecting wildlife, restoring ecosystems, managing forest-dependent communities, or balancing development with conservation, every day is a new test of integrity and courage. I can confidently say that the values I carry today—discipline, empathy, and commitment—were instilled in me at R.V.S.

No matter where I go or what I achieve, R.V.S. remains my beginning—a place that believed in me before the world knew my name.”

No matter where I go or what I achieve, RVS remains my beginning—a place that once believed in me before the world knew my name.
