The story of Santosh Kumar Jagram, who cleared the Provincial Civil Service (PCS) examination in his fifth attempt, is inspirational. Coming from a modest family, being a PCS officer is considered a great achievement in Indian society and Jagram achieved this feat with his dedication and hard work. His father Nathhi Singh was a constable in Uttar Pradesh Police. Hailing from Poladpur village of UP’s Bulandshahr, Santosh decided to join the “system” of Indian administration when his family was facing problems as his father’s job came in trouble in 2003.
With his father’s salary to sustain their expenses, Santosh’s family condition was good initially. However, in 2003, the family had to endure financial and mental troubles for many months when his father’s job got into trouble. During that time, his father was constantly confronted by the “government system.” It was that during this time when he understood the role of the “system” in society and vowed to be a part of it.
His story of being focussed on a goal with consistent efforts and hard work to attain success is a lesson for all the civil services aspirants.
