Pakistan's Kashish Chaudhary has created history by becoming the first Hindu woman appointed as an Assistant Commissioner of Balochistan.  

Her remarkable achievement after successfully passing the highly competitive Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) examination at a notably young age is celebrated as a powerful symbol of inclusion, diversity, and meritocracy in the province.

She belongs to a remote town of Noshki in the district of Chagai in Balochistan.

Recognising her accomplishment, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti met Kashish along with her father, Girdhari Lal.

During the meeting matters of women's representation, minority community empowerment, and the overall development of Balochistan were discussed, local media reported.

CM lauded her achievement and called her "a symbol of pride for not just Balochistan, but the entire nation."

"Kashish has proven that the daughters of Balochistan are second to none. Her success sends a strong message that talent and perseverance can emerge from even the most remote corners of our province," he said.

In her remarks, Chaudhary emphasised her desire to advocate for youth, women, and marginalised communities as she expressed her commitment in serving the people of Balochistan.
