Tanushree Debbarma is the first woman Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer in Tripura, India. She was the first woman from Tripura to pass the IAS exam.[1] She secured fourth place in the civil service examination in the ST category in 2006. [citation needed] She studied at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and received an offer from a multi-national IT firm but turned it down to prepare for the Civil Services Examination IAS exam. [citation needed]

Debbarma was in the Government of Karnataka until 2020 as the Director of Tribal Welfare with additional roles of Director of Elementary Education and State Project Director, National Education Mission (Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan).
