Dr. Ananda Shankar Jayant, author of ‘Dancing with Joy’, belonged to which civil service?

The correct answer is the Indian Railway Traffic Service. Besides being a renowned classical dancer and author, she served as an officer of that service, and this detail is the kind of cross-link a paper setter likes, because it ties a book release to the services list. Options A, B and D name other central services to which she did not belong. The memoir released at Uprashtrapathi Bhavan by the Vice-President is described as an inspirational account of passion, hard work, resilience and the strength that comes from discovering and nurturing one’s talent, and it covers the author’s experience of cancer. In his address the Vice-President said that a deeply nurtured passion can serve as an anchor during the most difficult moments of life and can turn adversity into an opportunity for self-discovery.
