A heartwarming video of a farmer’s daughter from Madhya Pradesh calling her mother after becoming a deputy collector has struck a chord with netizens. Mona Dangi, a resident of Ikodia village in Madhya Pradesh’s Ashok Nagar district, secured the 12th rank in the Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC) exam 2023.
Captioned, “Now you will be the Deputy Collector’s mother… Farmer’s daughter clears MPPSC PCS, calls her mother”, the viral clip shows an elated Dangi calling her mother shortly after the results of the MPPSC’s Provincial Civil Services (PCS) 2023 examination were announced. As tears ran down her face, Dangi told her mother, “Now you will be called the Deputy Collector’s mother.” Her mother asks her to check the results again, to which Dangi replies that there is no other Mona Dangi.
