He further added, “People from our area have to face hardships like access to a better education but with the ease of information, things are getting better now. I would say that the friction or gap that used to be there between Rajouri and Jammu, has been breached. This will continue, and I think it will be easier for aspirants living in remote areas to prepare for such examinations in the coming days.”
“Moreover, there is a mental block among people here that such prestigious exams are not for us. But my success would pave the way for other students and aspirants to pursue their dream of becoming IPS, IAS and other civil servants,” he added.
Giving advice to other aspirants, Ghulam advised that students should avoid distractions, make smart use of social media, and maintain focus and curiosity, not only for UPSC but other prestigious government exams.
