Dr. Sana Ramchand made history in 2020 when she became the first female from the Hindu community to join the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS) after passing the Central Superior Services (CSS) exam.

Sana Ramchand had a remarkable journey. Despite coming from a minority community, she has never faced any discrimination or difficulty in any department. As a Pakistani Hindu, she proudly declared that she is Pakistani first and Hindu later.
Sana said that It was my family’s dream to see me in the medical profession, and I am proud to have made it come true. Despite the small number of officials in the municipality, I was able to achieve my goals of entering both the medical profession and the administration.
Hassanabdal Tehsil is proud to have both its administrative seats occupied by members of the minority community. Further, the tehsil municipal officer, Henson Karamat also belongs to a minority (Christian community).
