Law-abiding citizens should never have to fear the police, but must look to them for advise, guidance and protection from the unlawful forces. It also brings out through Kalyani Singh's advice to her officers and constables the way they should behave and talk with the public-she chastens them to talk politely and in a helpful manner to every law-abiding citizen since they are public servants. In this serial, Kalyani Singh brings out how a police officer and an IPS officer should truly be-a friend, guardian and protector of the public and public interests and one that honest and law-abiding citizens should never fear. Shekhar Kapur plays the love interest of Kalyani in the serial. The story shows how she battles gender discrimination and various problems before successfully becoming a Police Officer.

When the serial ran in the late 80s and early 90s, there were several suggestions by the public and the media that all police officers including IPS officers could benefit from viewing this serial and learning from it. In fact in several episodes of this serial, Kalyani Singh IPS chastens her constables and other police officers for speaking with the public in a rude manner. Also, as happens in the US and other countries, Kavita portrayed her role of as a friend and guardian of the public who the public should want to go to for help, not a policewoman that everyone should fear. It was so refreshing to see a lady IPS (Indian Police Service) officer in Kavita Chaudhary's role that was not only humble, but also wanted to perform her work in letter and spirit by going to the public and placing the public's needs ahead of everything else, in the true spirit of a public servant. The direction and performance of Kavita Chaudhary were applauded and loved by the media and the public. The serial is inspired by true story of IPS Kanchan Choudhary Bhattacharya (Former Director General of Police) who after several hardships went to become the first female Director General of Police.She is elder sister of Kavita Chaudhary, director of show.
