The MP encouraged students to work hard to crack the UPSC exams and ensure the reputation of the state in terms of producing all-India civil servants. Vanlalhmangaiha said he is accessible and always ready to help promising students who aspire to become central civil servants. He also said that students have an important role to play in leading the state. Mizoram produced its last IAS officer in 2014 when Grace Lalrindiki Pachuau, the daughter of former state chief secretary Vanhela Pachuau, cleared the UPSC exams. Since then, no student from the state has cleared such exams and become IAS, IPS and IFS officers, an official said.
