Dedicating his achievement to his parents, spouse and well wishers, Talo said his induction into IAS at the far end of his career was akin to icing on the cake of his illustrious service career spanning both at Defence and civil administration.
Talo had been inducted into 2011 IAS batch of AGMUT cadre on 13th April last and allocated the offices of Secretary Labour & Employment and State Election Commission by the state Govt.
Born to Taru Tasser and Taru Yagyang in 1966, Talo did his primary schooling from Govt.Middle School Hija and higher secondary schooling from Sainik School Imphal, Manipur where he had topped the CBSE Class-X board examination in 1981. He then qualified for National Defence Academy examination in 1983 and joined as a fighter pilot trainee at Air Force Academy, Dundigal Hyderabad in 1986. However, despite 28 hours of flying experience, Talo was grounded due to a minor medical ailment.
Not the one to give up his line of defence easily due to a twist of destiny, Talo then sought approval from Ministry of Defence and Naval Headquarters to join Indian Navy instead. His request was approved upon which he joined the Naval Academy, Panjim, Goa as a trainee cadet and subsequently passed out as Acting Sub-Lieutenant in 1988 thereby becoming the first Naval Officer from Arunachal Pradesh.
After his short stints at the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy, Talo soon realized his inner desire to serve his native state. So, he again requested the Ministry of Defence and Naval Headquarters to release him on personal grounds and he was released by Indian Navy in June 1992.
