ANN RAMMAWII HAOKIP, IFS IS IN MEA NOW

THE daughter of Hyderabad-based Bishop Paothang Haokip, Chairman, AIKWS - All India Kuki Worship Worship Service -, and Ruby Haokip, Miss Ann Rammawii, Indian Foreign Service, has recently been transferred from Indian Embassy, Cairo, to Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi, where she has been given the responsibility of Under Secretary (Nepal).

The earlier write-up on the gifted lady who did her community proud with her first shot at AICS Exam which was posted in this forum (and updated) is reproduced hereunder:

ANN RAMMAWII HAOKIP: INDIAN FOREIGN SERVICE:

THE GIRL WHO DID HER PARENTS PROUD AT AGE 22.

Ann Rammawi is the daughter of Hyde-based Bishop Paothang and Ruby Haokip of OM - fame. The Bishop's family almost always stayed outside Manipur due to Bro Paothang's engagement and involvement in OM. This outside stay-over gave an advantage to Ann Rammawi to have had a better exposure in her prep for AICS Exam.

A flash of academic brilliance was noticed in Rammawi right from her schooling and 10+2 days in Hyderabad. She completed a BA course in Psychology in DU's Lady Shri Ram College for Women. In her UPSC interview, she said that she took up Psychology as 'it is a social science that helps one to master human behaviour.' That the daughter of the family developed a non-stoppable zeal and desire to make it at AICS levels spoke volumes about the grooming to excel by her mom, Pi Ruby Haokip.

In 2011, in her first attempt in AICS exam, she ranked 620 and got into Indian Foreign Service. Her super success was feted at Sita village, TPL District, Manipur where she moved the lauding audience in narration of her God-fearing and faring preparedness to aim and achieve her ambition. The whole of the nondescript Sita village CDL/TPL Dist was put in the map of her diplomatic assignments by her entry into IFS.

Ann, who had Gloria Gangte, IFS, as her role model, served Govt of India in Cairo in the second phase of her stint abroad. Recently, she returned from the Embassy of India, Cairo, as Second Secretary to join in the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi, as Under Secretary. Of a recent feather Ann added to her budding professional cap, mention may be made that she was nominated as one of the 40 'Young Observers' in the UN Assembly Meet in New York in 2018.

Good at strumming guitar and also sing in tune, and having served as the secretary of 'Western Music Society' in her college days, Ann created a niche for herself as an award-winning student, and in her social circles too. She was also a part of a Student Exchange Programme in Singapore in 2009. A civil servant who can put in something extra in addition to her occupational inputs becomes a 'value-added asset."

May God bless Rammawii and her family.
