From a small town in Rajasthan to an #IAS officer [AIR 18]
Manish Gurwani’s story is a real life ‘English Vinglish’
Born and brought up in Nohar, a small town in Rajasthan
He studied in a Hindi medium till Grade 10
And had a hard time understanding English
At the same time in 2003, his mother underwent surgeries
But despite these challenges, he secured a seat at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani
And from his 3rd year, he worked towards preparing for CSE
Being driven by a desire to assist in societal upliftment
He opted for the National Service Scheme project at BITS
And used to teach subjects to children of Canteen staff
Having cracked UPSC exam in his 1st attempt he got IRS
Only to prepare further and secure an AIR 18 in 2016
He attributes his success to his mother who he admires
For her resilience and standing tall despite her health issues
This story only proved a point:
No matter how hard things get, never give up!
If you find yourself struggling right now, then have hope
All will turn out to be well in the end 🙂
