Sucess Journey of New Civil Servants of Haryana

The new batch of the Haryana Civil Servants is a mixed bag as all the 48 come from different family backgrounds. From software engineers to IIM & IIT grads, an assistant professor to an unemployed educated, BJP MP’s son to confectioner’s son, daughter of a newspaper vendor to a staff nurse, the 48 Haryana (HSc Executives) civil servants have proven that family background does not matter if the intent and will is right. Let us dive deep into their lives.

Akhilesh is a Law graduate from Panjab University who cracked the HCS exam at the first go. He belongs to a family where both the parents are working. His mother is a lecturer and father an advocate.

Darshan Yadav, Hisar, 26

He is an IIT’ian who completed his B.Tech from IIT Mumbai. A humble upbringing has inculcated a steely determination in Darshan which is why he could bounce back from the failure in the UPSC interview round to crack the HCS examination.

She too tried to clear the UPSC exam but HCS was “where she was destined to be” might say a soothsayer.

Nisha, Gurugram, 25

An IIT Madras Postgraduate student, Nisha took the HCS exam while preparing for UPSC. She has already appeared for UPSC twice and the result of her second attempt, i.e UPSC Mains, is yet to be declared. She takes immense pride in the fact that she is the first in her family to join civil services. Her father owns a transport business and her mother a homemaker.

Their success stories are not easy to emulate. We often speak about how successful a person is by looking at his/her achievements but what we ignore is their strenuous journey and steely determination which took them to their destination. As someone rightly remarked - Success is like a tip of the iceberg. What is visible is the end result but what lies underneath is seldom spoken about.

CollegeDekho wishes them best of luck for their new innings.
