Jammu and Kashmir lad cracks KAS in first attempt, now emerges as inspiration for many

Srinagar: A young Kashmiri has emerged as an inspiration for many in the Valley after he qualified for the Kashmir Administrative Services (KAS) 2018 in first attempt.

Hailing from the far-flung hilly area of Thanna Mandi Tehsil in Rajouri District, Gouhar bagged 29th rank in his first attempt in the highly competitive exam without any coaching assistance, reports ANI.

“In spite of finishing my bachelors in science, I chose sociology as my optional subject for KAS entrance because I was interested in reading about social issues in my surroundings,” Chaand told ANI.

Now students visit him to take advice about competitive examinations without coaching.

“We firmly believe that nothing is possible without the Almighty’s blessings. So we’re thankful for all the blessings. My brother has put in a lot of hard work and perseverance into his studies. I’m very proud. He studied from a government school and qualified the KAS without any coaching,” Arzoo Chand, Gouhar’s sister, told ANI.
