President Pranab Mukherjee on Sunday May 22,2016 appointed former IPS officer Kiran Bedi as Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry."I
look forward to giving every bit of myself to the responsibility.
I am there for the benefit of the country. I flow with time. I am here to give my best every day, each day. I am grateful for the government's decision. They trusted me," Kiran Bedi said
Kiran Bedi, the first woman IPS officer, plunged into electoral politics joining the Bharatiya Janata Party as its chief ministerial candidate for 2015 Delhi Assembly elections but failed to create an impression in the national capital as her party faced the ignominy of not even winning 10% of the seats in the national capital.
The police officer-turned-activist-turned-politician wanted to replicate the Gujarat model of Governance in Delhi.
Her five mantras for Delhi were "sanskari Dilli, saksham Dilli, sakshar Dilli, swastha Dilli and surakshit Dilli."

Kiran Bedi joined the Khalsa College for Women in Amritsar as a lecturer in 1970. She joined the Indian Police Service in 1972 becoming the first woman IPS officer of the country.
After completing her training at the National Police Academy at Mount Abu, Rajasthan, she was posted as the Sub-Divisional Police Officer at the Chanakyapuri Police Station.
