Born to Girish Chandra Arya, an employee of the Electricity Board in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district, and Manju Devi, a school principal, Jyeshtha Maitreyi grew up with strong cultural and moral values. The values instilled by her family guided her toward honesty, sensitivity and a spirit of public service. True to her name, she is widely recognised as a thoughtful, knowledgeable and committed officer.
Inspiring Youth Aspirants
After clearing the Indian Police Service in her very first attempt, Maitreyi did not limit herself to administrative duties alone. She has emerged as a guide for young aspirants preparing for the UPSC examination across the country. Through lectures delivered at various coaching institutes and academic platforms in Delhi, she has helped thousands of students understand the path to civil services.
Her sessions go beyond examination strategy and often emphasise discipline, perseverance, confidence and a sense of responsibility towards society. This approach has made her a youth icon among competitive exam aspirants.
Commitment to Service in Uniform
Transferred from the CID-CB at Police Headquarters, Maitreyi has been working with dedication on preventing crime, ensuring the safety of women and children, tackling cybercrime and strengthening law and order. Helping the poor and the needy has also remained an important aspect of her work.
Implementing the DGP’s Vision
She is actively working in line with the vision of Director General of Police Rajeev Kumar Sharma for the effective implementation of new criminal laws, with the aim of ensuring speedy justice for victims of crime.
