EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND :

However, his success in the 2021 UPSC Civil Services Examination altered his plans.
He expressed, "I'm relieved that I don't have to pursue that now, as that job wouldn't have fulfilled me. I chose civil services because it offers the chance to undertake endeavours that ultimately improve someone's life. That in itself is a driving force for me to be passionate about this profession."
