Hindustan Times: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior diplomat Ruchira Kamboj who took charge as India’s new permanent representative to the United Nations on Tuesday presented her credentials to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. In a tweet, she said it was a privilege to be the first Indian woman to be given the honour to hold this position. She also slipped in a note for the girls: “To the girls out there, we all can make it!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 1987-batch Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, Kamboj had been serving as India’s envoy to Bhutan. She succeeds T S Tirumurti as the Indian ambassador to the UN. She is also the country’s first woman envoy to be serving at the world body’s headquarters in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she took charge as India’s envoy to the UN, congratulations poured in. Kamboj\u2019s predecessor Ambassador T S Tirumurti said, “Congratulations and all good wishes for your success Ruchira! @IndiaUNNewYork.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamboj was the all-India women’s topper of the 1987 Civil Services batch and the topper of the foreign service batch of that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She began her diplomatic journey in Paris where she was posted in the Indian Embassy to France from 1989-1991. Kamboj, however, later returned to Delhi where she worked as under secretary in the Europe West Division of the ministry of external affairs from 1991\u201396.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
