(Success Story) UPSC Topper 2015 - Ansar Shaikh (AIR-361)
Ansar
Shaikh, one among the 34 Muslims out of the total 1,078 candidates recommended
by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) based on the 2015 Civil Service
Examination for different government posts, is son of an auto-rickshaw driver.
Even more intriguing is that his mother works in fields and the family lives in a rented home at Shelgaon in Jalna - a dictrict place in Maharashtra's Marathwada region.
"When we visited the family after receiving the news about Ansar Shaikh's fabulous success, we found that the house didn't even had a lamp", Majid Shaikh, a Corporator at local civic body, said while talking to ummid.com on phone.
"Ansar's younger brother rushed for a CFL lamp even as his parents were crying out of emotion and joy", he added.
Ansar Shaikh, first to crack the all-important exam from Jalna, is yet to reach his home town and is away in Pune.
