"It's a stereotype that cops do not or will not like to head the handicrafts corporation. As a Kannadiga IPS officer, I have great pride in our native handicrafts of the state. I can relate& interact with artisans just like one of their own. As a woman I'm interested in aesthetics," says IPS D Roopa who took charge as Managing Director at Karnataka State Handicrafts Department.
