New Delhi: IPS officer Archana Ramasundram, who took charge as the Director General of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), has a message for the woman of the country.
“My message to women is - have faith in yourselves. I come from a middle class family, believed in myself. If a woman like me can achieve this much, it's not impossible for any woman of this country,” Ramasundram said.
