Kashmiri man, who grew up in orphanage, secures 46th rank in J&K Administrative Service exam
Doda: Showing his immense power to succeed, a person, who grew up in an orphanage, has secured 46th rank in the Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service.
A resident of the Doda district right here, Gazi Abdullah misplaced his father when he was simply two years previous. He was raised in an orphanage in Kashmir and pursued his submit-commencement at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), reports ANI.
Gazi credited his mother for his success.
“I credit all my success to my mother who always pushed me to pursue my dreams. Though she was uneducated, she knew the importance of a good education and hard work. We had to overcome many hurdles and I owe all my success to her,” Gazi told ANI.
“Living in an orphanage was a mix of different experiences and emotions. I did my best to create opportunities out of hardships. I learned a lot of discipline as we had to wake up early and manage with one cup and one roti in the morning till lunchtime. I am glad I pursued higher education as I was like a caged parrot in the orphanage. College gave me a lot of exposure,” he said.
Speaking on his preparation for the examination, he said he focussed on fundamentals like NCERT books and the proper use of the web.
“I started preparing from the very basic level and relied on NCERT books and later some standard civil service books. Along with this, I used to tutor students at a nearly tribal hostel in the evenings to make ends meet. This was an ‘ek teer se teen nishaan’ (one arrow, three targets) situation, as I could earn some money, students got good tuition, and I could be clear about basic concepts in many subjects including history and political science,” he told ANI.
“I only used the internet to study current affairs. I believe that the internet is like a matchstick. You can either choose to burn your house down or you can light a fire to keep you warm," he said.
